    PLA - Lab 8

    Uploaded by

    Muni Kuntumalla
    This document contains a post-lab assignment with 4 questions regarding an experiment measuring the moment of inertia and angular acceleration of a disk. The questions ask about the percent difference in measured moment of inertia values, how tripling the disk's mass would impact angular acceleration, calculating new angular acceleration with a different spool radius, and ranking angular accelerations of different systems.

    POST-LAB ASSIGNMENT (5PTS) LAB 8

    Directions: Please answer the follow questions, and type your answers. Staple this to the lab exercise for
    the lab, and hand it in at the beginning of your next lab meeting.

    1. Was the percent difference between the two values of the moment of inertia reasonable (that
    is to say ~10%)? What aspects of the experiment contributed most significantly to the
    uncertainty in the measured moment of inertia, and explain how these would affect your
    results?

    2. If the mass of the disk was tripled, how would this impact the magnitude of the angular
    acceleration? (Assume that the tension in the string remains constant)

    3. There were multiple spool radii that you could have wrapped the string around. Suppose you
    had chosen to wrap the string around the spool with a radius of 1.25cm instead of 2.5cm. What
    would be the new angular acceleration of the disk? (Assume that the tension in the string
    remains constant)

    4. Look back to the warm up question. Rank in order from largest to smallest the angular
    accelerations of systems a-d. Note: the moment of inertia for a point mass rotating at a distance
    r is I = mr2.
