    recognizing that Ic = mk 2 where k is the radius of gyration, we get that T1 = 2π and T2 = 2π 2 k 2 + l2 . dg 2 k 2 + l1 dg (II.15) (II.16) (II.17) FIG. 1. Kater’s pendulum. I1 is the moment of inertia about K1 with l1 is the distance from the knife edge to the small weight and I2 is the moment of inertia about K2 where w1 > w2 If we simply square our periods and solve for our radius of gyration in both equations, we find 2 4π 2 T 2 l1 − T2 l2 = 1 2 . 2 g l1 − l2 (II.18) If we

    Objective: The objective of this laboratory was to theoretically calculate the moment of inertia of a disk and a ring and then to verify the moment of inertia for both objects through experiment. This laboratory shows that while the theoretical is not within the uncertainty of the experimental, both values are extremely similar to each other. Data and Analysis: Data: Table 1: The Angular Acceleration of No Ring and Ring Trial No Ring Ring 5g 4.57 ± 0.005 rad/s2 1.32 ± 0.005 rad/s2 10g 13.16

    Abstract: The goal of this project is to control the azimuth angle of an anti aircraft gun. Anti aircraft gun is a type of counter measure gear used to fire tracer rounds to the hostile aircraft. It is a fixed ground gun system which can rotate in azimuth as well as in horizon. It can track the tail of an airship and hunt it down. The first effective anti aircraft gun was used in world war I. But, the most drawback was that, it was human controlled thus human casualties was high. To dominate over

    Statistical analysis can be used to derive Curie’s law as resulting from the properties of a system of feebly interacting particles possessing magnetic dipole moments. When there is no externally applied magnetic field, these magnetic moments of the particles point in random directions. However, when the field is switched on, the magnetic moments of the particles are aligned in the direction of the externally applied field resisting the thermal motion which

    the gang. As they were talking to T.J. about where he was from, they asked him about his name, and what T.J. stood for. T.J. answered that his name is just T.J., and when he spoke “his voice was resolute with the knowledge of his rightness and for a moment no one had anything to say” (Deal 100). As T.J. spoke his voice was “resolute” or purposeful, which eventually will spark the boys to gain purpose in the future. Also, his voice has “the knowledge of his
