RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS TO BE CARRIED OUT:

• To study the damped torsional oscillations & determine the damping coefficient Ct.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :

The setup consists of a long elastic shaft gripped at the upper end by the chuck in the bracket. The bracket is clamped to the upper beam of the main frame. A heavy steel flywheel clamped at the lower end of the shaft suspends from the bracket. Damping drum is fixed to the lower face of the flywheel. This drum is immersed in the oil which provides damping. Depth of immersion can be read from the scale.
Recording drum is mounted to the upper face of the flywheel. Paper is to be wrapped around the recording drum. Oscillations are recorded on the paper with help of specially designed piston of dash pot. The piston carries the attachment for fixing the sketching pen.
