Physical Pendulum, Torsion Pendulum

Investigate the motions of physical pendulums and torsion pendulums.

1. Physical Pendulum

A physical pendulum is any real pendulum that uses an

extended body, as contrasted to the idealized simple pendu-

lum with all of its mass concentrated at a point.

Figure 1 shows a body of irregular shape pivoted so that it

can turn without friction about an axis through point 𝑂𝑂. In

equilibrium the center of gravity (cg) is directly below the pivot;

in the position shown, the body is displaced from equilibrium

by an angle 𝜃𝜃, which we use as a coordinate for the system.

The distance from 𝑂𝑂 to the center of gravity is 𝑑𝑑, the mo-

ment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation through

𝑂𝑂 is 𝐼𝐼, and the total mass is 𝑚𝑚. When the body is displaced

as shown, the weight 𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨 causes a restoring torque

𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 = −(𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨)(𝑑𝑑 sin𝜃𝜃) (1)

When the body is released, it oscillates about its equilibrium

position. The motion is not simple harmonic because the

torque 𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 is proportional to sin𝜃𝜃 rather than to 𝜃𝜃 itself.

However, if 𝜃𝜃 is small, we can approximate sin𝜃𝜃 by 𝜃𝜃 in

radian. Then the motion is approximately simple harmonic.

With this approximation,

𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 = −(𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑)𝜃𝜃 (2)

Fig. 1 The restoring torque on the body is proportional to

sin𝜃𝜃, not to 𝜃𝜃. However, for small 𝜃𝜃, sin𝜃𝜃 ≈ 𝜃𝜃, so the motion is approximately simple harmonic.

Using the rotational analog of Newton’s second law for a

rigid body, ∑𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 = 𝐼𝐼𝛼𝛼𝑧𝑧, we find

−(𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑)𝜃𝜃 = 𝐼𝐼𝛼𝛼𝑧𝑧 = 𝐼𝐼𝑑𝑑2𝜃𝜃𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2

𝑑𝑑2𝜃𝜃𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2 = −

𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑𝐼𝐼 𝜃𝜃 (3)

Comparing this with the equation for SHM, 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 = −(𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚⁄ )𝑥𝑥,

we see that the role of (𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚⁄ ) for the spring-mass system is

played here by the quantity (𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑 𝐼𝐼⁄ ). Thus

𝜔𝜔 = �𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑𝐼𝐼 (4)

𝑇𝑇 = 2𝜋𝜋�𝐼𝐼

𝑚𝑚𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑 (5)

Figure 2 gives moments of inertia for several familiar shapes

in terms of their masses and dimensions. Fig. 2(b) shows that

the moment of inertia of a rectangular plate through center of

mass is 𝐼𝐼cm = (1 12⁄ )𝑀𝑀(𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑏𝑏2) , however, if 𝑎𝑎 ≪ 𝑏𝑏(= 𝐿𝐿)

then it approximately becomes 𝐼𝐼cm = (1 12⁄ )𝑀𝑀𝐿𝐿2 as Fig. 2(a).

Fig. 2 Moments of Inertia of Various Bodies

Fig. 3 The parallel-axis theorem.

A body doesn’t have just one moment of inertia. In fact, it

has infinitely many, because there are infinitely many axes

about which it might rotate. But there is a simple relationship,

called the parallel-axis theorem, between 𝐼𝐼cm (moment of

inertia of a body about an axis through its center of mass)

and 𝐼𝐼𝑃𝑃 (moment of inertia about any other axis parallel to the

origin axis) (Fig. 3):

𝐼𝐼𝑃𝑃 = 𝐼𝐼cm + 𝑀𝑀𝑑𝑑2 (6)

where 𝑀𝑀 is the mass of body and 𝑑𝑑 is the distance between

two parallel axes.

From Eqs. (5), (6) (𝑚𝑚 = 𝑀𝑀), 𝐼𝐼cm = (1 12⁄ )𝑀𝑀𝐿𝐿2, and Fig. 4(a),

the period 𝑇𝑇 of a slender rod with length 𝐿𝐿 is

𝑇𝑇 = 2𝜋𝜋�𝐿𝐿2 + 12𝑑𝑑2

12𝘨𝘨𝑑𝑑 (7)

From Eqs. (5), (6) (𝑚𝑚 = 𝑀𝑀), 𝐼𝐼cm = (1 2⁄ )𝑀𝑀𝑅𝑅2, and Fig. 4(b),

the period 𝑇𝑇 of a solid cylinder with radius 𝑅𝑅 is

𝑇𝑇 = 2𝜋𝜋�𝑅𝑅2 + 2𝑑𝑑2

2. Torsion Pendulum

A restoring force on a body undergoing periodic motion orig-

inates in difference ways in difference situations. Figure 7

shows a kind of torsion pendulum which consists of an elastic

object such as a thin steel wire. When it is twisted, it exerts a

restoring torque in the opposite direction.

The balance disk has a moment of inertia 𝐼𝐼 about its axis.

The twisted steel wire exerts a restoring torque 𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 that is

proportional to the angular displacement 𝜃𝜃 from the equilib-

rium position. We write 𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 = −𝜅𝜅𝜃𝜃 , where 𝜅𝜅 is a constant

called the torsion constant.

Using the rotational analog of Newton’s second law for a

rigid body, ∑𝜏𝜏𝑧𝑧 = 𝐼𝐼𝛼𝛼𝑧𝑧 = 𝐼𝐼𝑑𝑑2𝜃𝜃/𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2, we find

−𝜅𝜅𝜃𝜃 = 𝐼𝐼𝛼𝛼 or 𝑑𝑑2𝜃𝜃𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑2 = −

𝜅𝜅𝐼𝐼 𝜃𝜃 (9)

This equation is exactly the same as 𝑎𝑎𝑥𝑥 = −(𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚⁄ )𝑥𝑥 for

simple harmonic motion, with 𝑥𝑥 replaced by 𝜃𝜃 and 𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚⁄

replaced by 𝜅𝜅 𝐼𝐼⁄ . So we are dealing with a form of angular

simple harmonic motion. The angular frequency 𝜔𝜔 and peri-

od 𝑇𝑇 are given by 𝜔𝜔 = �𝑘𝑘 𝑚𝑚⁄ and 𝑇𝑇 = 2𝜋𝜋�𝑚𝑚 𝑘𝑘⁄ , respec-

tively, with the same replacement:

𝜔𝜔 = �′𝜅𝜅′𝐼𝐼 (10)

𝑇𝑇 = 2𝜋𝜋�𝐼𝐼′𝜅𝜅′

(11)

Fig. 7 The steel wire exerts a restoring torque that is pro-

portional to the angular displacement 𝜃𝜃, so the mo-tion is angular SHM.

(1) Force Sensor

Refer to the “Circular Motion and Centripetal Force” lab

manual.

(2) Rotary Motion Sensor

The Rotary Motion Sensor is a bidirectional angle sensor

designed to measure rotational or linear position, velocity

and acceleration.

It contains a small photogate sensor and an optical code

wheel on which dark bands are printed in line. As the shaft of

the sensor rotates, the bands block the infrared beam of the

photogate, which provides very accurate signals for position-

ing or timing.

It includes a removable 3-step pulley with 10mm, 29mm,

and 48mm diameters. This allows you to convert a linear

motion into a rotational motion.

⑥ Wind a string around the largest pulley.

(2) Set up Capstone software.

① Configure the Rotary Motion Sensor.

- Click the RMS icon and then click the properties button (☼).

- Select [Large Pulley (Groove)] for [Linear Accessory].

- [Change Sign] switches the sign of collected RMS data,

which depends on the setup status or the rotational direction

of the shaft. Check [Change Sign] if required.

② Configure the Force Sensor.

- Click the FS icon and then click the properties button (☼).

- Check [Change Sign].

(The sign of FS data is initially negative for the pulling force.)

Caution

When you slide the 3-step pulley onto the shaft of the

RMS, be sure to align the guide of the pulley with the slot

of the shaft.

Caution

If the retaining ring of the sensor shaft gets entangled in

a string, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY remove the string.

(NEVER apply a firm quick jerk to the string, which caus-

es the retaining ring to warp, and as a result, the sensor

to fail.) If it becomes warped, suspend your experiment

immediately and visit lab office to replace the sensor.
