Project Topic Determination of modulus of rigidity of a material of a given wire by oscillating method
PURPOSE OF PRCTICAL To find the MODOLUS OF RIGIDITY OF WIRE when a heavy body is supported by it and execute torsional head.
APPARATUS Solid Cylindrical Rod Suspension Wire Tortion Head Stop Watch Vernier Callipers Screw Guage Mass Balance Meter Rod Knitting Needle Stand
THEORY MODULUS OF RIGIDTY: Within the elastic limit, the ratio of shearing stress to shearing strain is called MODOLUS OF RIGIDITY. Unit of modulus of rigidity is n/ FORMULA is Y=
THEORY STRESS: THE FORCE APPLIED ON THE UNIT AREA TO PRODUCE ANY CHANGE IN THE SHAPE, LENGTH AND SHAPE OF THE BODY STRESS = UNIT: N STRAIN: STRAIN IS THE MEASURE OF THE DEFORMATION OF THE SOLID WHEN STRESS IS APPLIED TO IT IN CASE OF DEFORMATION IN ONE DIMENSION STRAIN IS DEFINED AS A FRACTIONAL CHANGE IN LENGTH STRAIN ( ) = UNIT UNITLESS
THEORY SHEAR STRESS: When two equal and opposite forces are applied tangentially to the cross section of the body .The stress induced is known as SHEAR STRESS. SHEAR STRAIN: SHEAR STRAIN is defined as the strain accompanying a shearing action.It is the angle in radian measure through which the body gets distorted when subjected to an external shearing action.
PROCEDURE We perform following steps in doing this EXPERIMENT ….. 1. Measure the MASS of Cylindrical rod by using digital mass balance. 2. Measure the mean DIAMETER of Suspension wire by using Screw Gauge. DIAMETER ( )
3.Find the RADIUS of the wire 4.FIND THE Measure the DIAMETER of Cylindrical Rod by using Vernier Caliper diameter(d) 5.Find the RADIUS of the cylindrical rod r=d/2
6.Find the length of SUSPENSION WIRE and length of rod (l) by using METER ROD 7. Calculate the time for 10 vibrations t1 for first time t2 for second time t = 8. Calculate TIME PERIOD as T=t/10
