Which is used the balance to measure the total mass (m).
1- The mass is winded to an appropriate height. Verified that the string
fell off the axle when the mass hit the ground.
5. The height (h) of the mass is measured and recorded.
6. The masS is then released and at the same time the stop-watch !"
started.

7. As soon as the mass hit the ground, stop the stop-watch and count the
number of revolutions of the wheel.

8. The mass is winded up again and steps are repeated for at least 3
times. The mean time of the falling is obtained.

Observation:

Diameter of axle drum (dd) = 5·bUYl

Diameter of cord (de) = G· tcm
Effective diameter of axle of drum = 5·6t2-XO ·L/=0 •YUY)
Weight of flywheel = 25 -1 LB

To ob(ain the acceleration of falling mass using flyWheel experiment and

compare with theoretical values.

Flywheel, string , falling weight, scale, stopwatch etc.

>rocedure 1. One end of the rope is wound the axle while other end is attached to a
hook from which weight w is suspended.

2. The distance 'h' from the bottom of the peg to the ground. The time of
fall is noted.

3. A stopwatch is started as soon as weight touches the ground. The time

of is noted down.

4. The acceleration of flywheel a calculated. (a = 2ht2).

5. The observed value is compared to the theoretical value using

theoretical expression.

6. The p_rocedure is reported for at least 3 sets of values of height 'h' .
