About This Product
The torsional pendulum is an angular version of a simple harmonic oscillator: a restoring torque, rather than a restoring force, turns it back towards equilibrium. In the dynamic method the pendulum swings back and forth like a regular pendulum, while the static method resembles one way of measuring the restoring force of a spring. Both give the torsional spring constant of the wire. Besides buyers across India, the Torsion Study Apparatus can be exported to institutions in Niger, Egypt, Kenya, Peru, Tanzania and Kyrgyzstan.
