ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring moment of inertia incorporating a torsional pendulum and an analog electronic circuit. The circuit measures the period of oscillation, sets a scaling factor equal to the torsional coefficient of the resilient member, and computes moment of inertia by multiplying the scaling factor by the square of the period of oscillation. The moment of inertia is then displayed in metric units.
