Theoretical introduction

In the theory of oscillations, a physical pendulum is a rigid body mounted on a fixed horizontal axis that does not pass through its center of mass and is capable of oscillating about this axis (Fig. 1).


It can be shown that a pendulum deflected through a small angleafrom the equilibrium position, will perform harmonic oscillations.

Let us denote by Jmoment of inertia of the pendulum relative to the O axis. Let point C be the center of mass. The force of gravity can be decomposed into two components, one of which is balanced by the reaction of the axis. The pendulum begins to move under the influence of another component, a quantity which:

For small angles sin a » a and expression (1) we write:

The minus sign means that the force is directed in the direction opposite to the deviation of the pendulum from the equilibrium position.

The basic equation for the dynamics of rotational motion for a physical pendulum will be written:

Moment of force relative to the O axis taking into account (2):

Where l– distance from the center of mass C to the O axis.

Angular acceleration of the pendulum:

Putting (4) and (5) into equation (3), we get:

where

Having designated

we get:

In structure, equation (6) is a differential equation of harmonic oscillations with a cyclic frequencyw . The period of oscillation of a physical pendulum is equal to:

Hence the moment of inertia of a physical pendulum:

Magnitude

is called the reduced length of a physical pendulum, equal to length a mathematical pendulum having the same period of oscillation as the physical one, i.e.

Point O 1 lying on a straight line drawn through the suspension point O and the center of mass C, at a distance of the given lengthl 0 from rotation axis, is called the center of swing of the pendulum (Fig. 1). The center of swing always lies below the center of mass. The suspension point O and the swing center O 1 are conjugate with each other, i.e. moving the suspension point to the center of swing does not change the period of oscillation of the pendulum. The suspension point and the swing center are reversible, and the distance between these points is the reduced lengthl 0 one of the types of physical pendulum, the so-called reversible pendulum.

Let us denote by J 0 moment of inertia of a pendulum about an axis passing through its center of mass. Based on Steiner's theorem, the moment of inertiaJrelative to any axis parallel to the first:

Where m– mass of the pendulum,l– distance between axes.

Then, when the pendulum is suspended from the suspension point O, the period of oscillation is:

and when suspended by the swing center O 1, when the pendulum is in an inverted position, the period is:

Where l 2 And l 1 – the distance between the center of mass and the corresponding axes of vibration.

From equations (9) and (10):

where:

Formula (11) remains valid when the pendulum oscillates relative to two arbitrary axes O and O /, not necessarily conjugate, but located along different sides from the center of mass of the pendulum.

Description of the operating setup and measurement method.

To determine the acceleration of gravity, the FP-1 device is used (Fig. 2),


consisting of a wall bracket 1, on which 2 support prism cushions are mounted and a physical pendulum, which is a homogeneous metal rod 11, on which lentils 5 and 9 are attached. Lentil 9 is fixed rigidly and is motionless. The lentil 5, located at the end of the rod, can move along a scale 3 with a vernier 4 and is fixed in the desired position with a screw 6. The pendulum can be suspended on support prisms 7 and 10. The device includes a special stand for determining the position of the center of mass of the pendulum. By moving the lentil 5, it is possible to achieve equality of periods of oscillation of the pendulum when hanging it on the support prisms 7 and 10, and then the oscillation axes become conjugate, the distance between the support prisms becomes equal to the reduced length of the physical pendulum.

The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is determined based on formula (11). The experiment comes down to measuring quantities T 1 , T 2 , l 1 , l 2 . Formula (8) is the starting point for determining the moment of inertia of a physical pendulum.

Work progress

3. To find the position of the center of mass of the pendulum, remove it from the support prism pads and balance it on the horizontal edge of the prism mounted on the table until the moments of gravity acting on the right and left parts of the pendulum will be equal. In the case of equilibrium, the center of mass of the pendulum will be located in the rod opposite the fulcrum. Without removing the pendulum from the edge of the prism, measure the distance with a rulerl 1 between support 7 and the center of mass.

4. Turning the pendulum over, hang it on the supporting prism 10. Select the same number of oscillationsnand repeat the experiment at least 5 times, find the period of oscillation:

In this case, the measured values ​​of periods T 1 and T 2 should differ by no more than 5%

5. Find distancel 2 between the edge of the supporting prism 10 and the center of mass:l 2 = l 0 – l 1 where l 0 – the distance between the ribs of the supporting prisms 7 and 10 (for this penduluml 0 =0.730m).

A physical pendulum is a rigid body capable of oscillating around a fixed point that does not coincide with its center of inertia. In the equilibrium position, the center of inertia of the pendulum C is located under the suspension point of the pendulum O, on the same vertical (Fig. 50). When the pendulum deviates from the equilibrium position by an angle α, a rotational moment arises, tending to return the pendulum to the equilibrium position. This moment is equal

М = – mglsin(α)

Where m is the mass of the pendulum, and l– the distance between the suspension point and the center of inertia of the pendulum. The “–” sign means that the torque tends to return the pendulum to the equilibrium position, i.e., it is directed in the direction opposite to the change in angle Δα. Having designated the moment of inertia of the pendulum relative to the axis passing through the suspension point by the letter J, you can write:

Let us introduce the notation:

Then for small deviations, when the condition sin(α) ≈ α is satisfied, we obtain the equation of harmonic oscillations:

For small deviations from the equilibrium position, the physical pendulum performs harmonic oscillations, the cyclic frequency of which is determined by formula (137). Accordingly, the period of oscillation of a physical pendulum is equal to:

Physical pendulum

From a comparison of formulas (139) and (134) it follows that a mathematical pendulum with a length

will have the same period of oscillation as the given physical pendulum. The quantity (140) is called the reduced length of the physical pendulum. Thus, the reduced length of a physical pendulum is the length of a mathematical pendulum whose period of oscillation coincides with the period of a given physical pendulum.

The point on the straight line connecting the point of suspension with the center of inertia, lying at a distance of a reduced length from the axis of rotation, is called the center of swing of a physical pendulum (see point O" in Fig. 50).

According to Steiner's theorem, the moment of inertia of a pendulum l can be presented in the form

J = J 0 + ml 2, (141)

Where J 0– moment of inertia about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation and passing through the center of inertia of the pendulum. Substituting (141) into formula (140), we obtain:

From (142) it follows that the reduced length is always greater l, so that the suspension point and the center of swing lie on opposite sides of the center of inertia.

Let us suspend the pendulum at a point coinciding with the center of swing O". In accordance with (142), the reduced length in this case will be equal to

Where l"– the distance between the initial center of swing and the center of inertia of the pendulum. Considering that l" = L – l, expression (143) can be written as follows:

Because J 0 + ml 2 equal to the moment of inertia about the original axis of rotation J, and the same value, according to (140), is equal to the expression mlL, then the numerator of the fraction will be equal to zero. That's why L" = L. This means that when the pendulum is suspended at the center of the swing, the reduced length, and therefore the period of oscillation, will be the same as at the beginning. Consequently, the suspension point and the swing center have the property of reciprocity: when the suspension point is transferred to the swing center, the previous suspension point becomes the new swing center.

Purpose of the work: determination of the moment of inertia of a physical pendulum by experimental and computational methods using Steiner’s theorem.

The moment of inertia is physical quantity, which quantitatively characterizes the inertial properties of a body during its rotational motion. The inertia of rotation of a rigid body depends not only on the mass of the body itself, but also on the distribution of this mass in space relative to the axis of rotation.

The moments of inertia of geometrically symmetrical bodies are relatively simple to calculate. Analytical calculation of the moments of inertia of bodies free form is a cumbersome task that requires computational experience.

A solid body of arbitrary shape that oscillates about an axis passing through the suspension point (Fig. 1) is called physical pendulum. It is required to determine the moment of inertia of this pendulum.

In a position of balance center of mass https://pandia.ru/text/80/230/images/image006_43.gif" width="40" height="23">.

There are two forces acting on the pendulum: gravity https://pandia.ru/text/80/230/images/image008_41.gif" width="23" height="27"> (we assume that there are no frictional forces and resistance to the movement of the pendulum Let us deflect the pendulum from the vertical by an angle ( corner bias). The further movement of the pendulum, left to itself, can be considered as rotational about an axis coinciding with the axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure.

According to basic law of dynamics rotational movement the angular acceleration of the pendulum () relative to the axis is equal to the ratio of the resulting moment of all forces acting on the pendulum to its moment of inertia relative to the same axis:

. (1)

The moment of the force conventionally shown in is equal to zero (as can be seen from the figure, the arm of this force is equal to zero), and, therefore, the resulting moment of force is equal to the moment of gravity relative to the axis:

, (2)

where: is the mass of the physical pendulum, is the acceleration of free fall, https://pandia.ru/text/80/230/images/image003_53.gif" width="20" height="21"> and the center of mass. The minus sign in formula (2) indicates that the moment of gravity prevents an increase in angular displacement.

For small amplitudes (https://pandia.ru/text/80/230/images/image017_28.gif" width="79" height="27"> and from (1) taking into account (2) we arrive at a linear differential equation 2nd order:

, Where . (3)

This means that small oscillations of a physical pendulum are harmonic With circular frequency And period(for the period phase oscillations changes to ):

. (4)

Using formula (4), you can experimentally determine the moment of inertia of any body by measuring the quantities , and :

. (5)

A physical pendulum can be obtained using Oberbeck pendulum. It consists of a cross made of 4 rods and attached to a bushing that rotates on a rigidly fixed horizontal axis. If a body, for example a disk, is attached to one of the rods, then the resulting system will be a physical pendulum (Fig. 2). The axis of rotation of the resulting pendulum coincides with the center of mass of the Oberbeck pendulum.


Direct use of formula (5) to calculate the moment of inertia of a given pendulum is difficult. This is due to the difficulty of accurately finding both the position of the center of mass and the mass of the entire pendulum.

Let us transform equation (5) to a form with easily measurable parameters. A pendulum is a system of two rigidly connected bodies: unloaded Oberbeck pendulum with mass and homogeneous disk with mass (Fig. 3).

Since relative to the center of mass vector sum moment of mass of the bodies of the system is equal to zero, we obtain:

.

Hence the distance between the axis of rotation and the center of mass of the resulting pendulum is equal to:

. (6)

Let us substitute (6) into (5) and, taking into account that , we obtain a calculation formula for experimentally determining the moment of inertia of the tested physical pendulum:

. (7)

In formulas (6) and (7) #ris3">Fig. 3). The disk is homogeneous - its center of mass coincides with geometric center. All quantities in formula (7) are now quite easy to measure.

On the other hand, the moment of inertia of the pendulum can be calculated if the moment of inertia of the unloaded Oberbeck pendulum is known (relative to the axis). Indeed, due to the property additivity moment of inertia we have:

,

where is the moment of inertia of a disk of radius , calculated using the Huygens-Steiner theorem relative to the axis ():

.

Thus, the formula for calculating the moment of inertia of the pendulum we are testing takes the form:

DETERMINATION OF THE MOMENT OF INERTIA OF A PHYSICAL

PENDULUM

PURPOSE OF THE WORK: to determine the moment of inertia of a physical pendulum and to study the dependence of the moment of inertia on the position of the center of mass of the pendulum relative to the axis of rotation.

DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES: physical pendulum on a bracket, stopwatch, prism on a stand, scale ruler.

ELEMENTS OF THE THEORY

Periodic displacements of a body relative to some stable position (equilibrium position) are called oscillatory movement or simple vibrations. Oscillatory movements in general represent complex physical processes. The study of vibrations serves as the basis for a number of applied disciplines (acoustics, machine theory, seismology, etc.).

The simplest type of vibration is harmonic oscillatory motion. Harmonic vibrations of a body occur when a force is applied to it that is proportional to the displacement, i.e. . This force is called restoring. The nature of the restoring force can be different (elastic force, gravity, etc.) With harmonic motion, the dependence of the path (displacement ) from time expressed by the sine or cosine function:

,

Where - maximum displacement of the body from the equilibrium position (amplitude),

- circular or cyclic frequency,

- time of one complete oscillation (period),

- initial phase of oscillation .

The acceleration of a body performing harmonic oscillations is proportional to the displacement and is always directed towards equilibrium, i.e. for each moment of time offset and acceleration have opposite signs:

. (1)

Harmonic oscillations are performed by pendulums under the influence of gravity if the angles of deviation from the vertical position (equilibrium position) are small. Pendulums can be simple or complex. A small body (material point) suspended on a long thread, the tension and weight of which can be neglected, is called simple or mathematical pendulum. A solid body of arbitrary shape, fixed on a horizontal axis that does not pass through the center of gravity, is a complex or physical pendulum.

Any solid body can be considered as a collection of invariably connected material points with masses

, . . .,
.

When a physical pendulum deviates from its equilibrium position by an angle (Fig. 1) each of its elements will be affected by the moment of gravity relative to the axis of rotation . The sum of the moments of all these forces is equal to the moment of the resultant forces of gravity
, applied to the center of gravity of the pendulum (point ).

Under the influence of the moment of gravity, the pendulum begins to oscillate with angular acceleration
.

If we denote the distance from the axis of rotation to the center of gravity through , then the moment of gravity
would be expressed like this:

or at small angles

Where - shoulder strength
,

- mass of the pendulum,

- acceleration of free fall of a body in a given place.

When a pendulum oscillates, its center of gravity moves along an arc of a circle, therefore the equation of Newton's second law for rotational motion is also applicable for a pendulum. It will be written in the form:

, (3)

Where moment of inertia of the body about the axis of rotation .

Moment of inertia material point called the product of mass (
)per distance squared ( ) from the axis of rotation to it (
). The moment of inertia of a body is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of its particles relative to the same axis, that is

.

Substituting into equation (3) the value
and solving it with respect to angular acceleration, we get

, (4)

Equation (4) differs from equation (1) only in that it includes angular quantities instead of linear ones.

From a comparison of equations (1) and (4) it follows that

EXPERIMENTAL METHOD AND DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION

The physical pendulum in this work consists of a steel rod

ОD, on which a massive cylindrical body B is attached with screws (Fig. 2). When the support screws are released, body B can be moved along the rod and, therefore, the position of the center of gravity of the pendulum can be changed.

To suspend the pendulum, use a special bracket on which the pendulum is suspended at the point .

To find the center of gravity of the pendulum (point ) is a special prism mounted on a stable stand. The pendulum is placed horizontally on the edge of this prism and, observing the balancing, a position is found in which the moments of gravity acting on the right and left parts of the pendulum will be equal (Fig. 3). In this position, the center of gravity of the pendulum will be located in the rod opposite the fulcrum. Distance

and compared them

1.1. The motion of Maxwell's pendulum is an example of the plane motion of a rigid body, in which the trajectories of all its points lie in parallel planes. This motion can be reduced to the translational motion of the pendulum and rotational motion around an axis passing through its center of mass perpendicular to these planes.

This type of motion is widespread in technology: the rolling of a cylinder on a plane, the wheels of a car, the roller of a road car, the movement of a rotating helicopter propeller, etc.

1.2. The purpose of this laboratory work is an experimental acquaintance with the plane motion of a rigid body using the example of Maxwell's pendulum and determining the moment of inertia of the pendulum.

2. BASIC CONCEPTS

2.1. The Maxwell pendulum is a small flywheel. It can be lowered under the influence of gravity and the tension force of threads pre-wound on the axis of the pendulum (Fig. 1). The threads unwind completely during the downward movement. The untwisted flywheel continues to rotate in the same direction and winds the threads around the axis, as a result of which it rises up, while slowing down its movement. Having reached the top point, it begins to go down again.

The flywheel makes a periodically repeating motion, which is why it is called a pendulum. So, the movement of a Maxwell pendulum can be divided into two stages: lowering and rising.

2.2. According to the basic laws of the dynamics of translational and rotational motion (for the corresponding axes), neglecting the forces of friction against the air and the deviation of the threads from the vertical, we write

Where m- mass of the pendulum, I- moment of inertia of the pendulum relative to the axis, - pendulum axis radius, N- tension force of each thread, g- free fall acceleration, a- linear acceleration of the center of mass of the pendulum, - angular acceleration. Due to the inextensibility of the threads

These equations apply to both the first and second stages of the pendulum's motion. The initial conditions at different stages are different: when the pendulum is lowered, the initial speed of its center of mass is zero, and when it rises, it is different from zero.

2.3. From equations (1), (2), (3) it follows

(5)

From the dependence of the path on time for uniformly accelerated motion from zero initial speed you can find the linear acceleration of the pendulum

Where t- time of movement of the pendulum from the top to the bottom point, h- the distance traveled during this time. At we have ; (7)

Note that the directions of linear acceleration and tension forces do not depend on whether the pendulum is moving up or down. During one complete oscillation, the linear velocity changes its direction at the bottom point to the opposite, but the linear acceleration and forces do not change. Angular velocity, on the contrary, does not change its direction, but the moment of force and angular acceleration at the bottom point are reversed.

2.4.When rising upward, the pendulum moves equally slow. Height h2, to which he rises will be less than the one from which he descends h1. The difference in these heights determines the decrease in mechanical energy spent on overcoming the forces of deformation of the threads upon impact and the forces of resistance to movement.

INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION

3.1. The installation diagram is shown in Fig. 2. A column 2 is fixed to the base 1; it holds the upper bracket 3, on which there is an electromagnet 4, a photoelectric sensor 5 and a knob 6 for leveling the pendulum suspension. A second photoelectric sensor 7 is attached to the lower bracket. The Maxwell pendulum flywheel consists of a disk 8 mounted on an axis 9 and a massive ring 10 attached to it. It is suspended on two parallel threads wound on the axis. The pendulum is held in the upper position by an electromagnet. The heights of lowering and raising the pendulum are determined using a millimeter ruler 11 located on the column of the device. Millisecond watch MS 12 is designed for measuring time t movements of Maxwell's pendulum. The start and end of the time counting are carried out automatically using the photo sensors mentioned above.

The moment of inertia of a Maxwell pendulum is determined indirectly.

From equations (6) and (8) it follows that the moment of inertia can be calculated using the formula

Here m– total mass of the pendulum,

m = m O+m d+mK , (11)
