Details:
It is a compound pendulum constructed on the principle that center of oscillation and centre of suspension are interchangeable. It consists of a steel rod of l20cm long and 1.0 cm dia capable of two adjustable knife edges facing each other. Two metal weights (made of cast iron) of dimension 7.5 x 3.75cm (length x diameter) and (3.5 x 3.75) respectively can be made to slide along the length of the bar and can be clamped in any position. Two wooden weights exactly similar to metal weights can also slide along the bar. With the help of this apparatus we can find acceleration due to gravity at a place.

FAQs of KATERS REVERSIBLE PENDULUM:
Q: How is the Katers Reversible Pendulum used to measure gravitational acceleration?
A: The pendulum is used by adjusting its length and positioning the reversible steel knife edges. The time period of oscillation is measured using the analog scale, and gravitational acceleration can then be calculated based on standard formulas.
Q: What is the benefit of having adjustable knife edges in this pendulum?
A: The two reversible steel knife edges allow measurements from either end of the pendulum, improving accuracy by minimizing systematic errors and enabling cross-verification of results.
Q: When should the pendulum be recalibrated?
A: The Katers Reversible Pendulum comes factory calibrated for immediate use. Recalibration is recommended only if there is apparent wear or after extensive use that may affect precision.
Q: Where can this pendulum be mounted for experiments?
A: It is specifically designed for bench-top mounting, making it stable and easy to set up in most laboratory environments.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the length of the pendulum?
A: The length can be adjusted manually by repositioning the attachments along the rectangular bar, allowing for fine-tuning during experimental setups.
Q: Is this pendulum suitable for educational institutions?
A: Yes, its sturdy construction, user-friendly manual controls, and high-precision time measurement make it highly suitable for physics labs in both academic and research institutions.
