Trifilar Suspension System: Aim: Apparatus Required

The document describes an experiment to determine the radius of gyration of a trifilar suspension system. A disc is suspended by three equal cords attached evenly around its circumference. The disc is given a small twist and its period of oscillation is measured over various cord lengths. The experimental radius of gyration is calculated and found to approximate the theoretical value of r/√2, where r is the radius of the disc. The aim is to determine the radius of gyration of the trifilar suspension through changing cord lengths and measuring oscillation periods.

TRIFILAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

Aim: To determine the radius of gyration of trifilar suspension.

Apparatus required: Main frame, Trifilar suspension, Bifilar plate, Stopwatch, Thread

Introduction: Trifilar suspension is a disc of mass m suspended by three vertical cords, each of length l, from a fixed support. Each
cord is symmetrically attached to the disc at the same distance r from the mass of the disc.

Theory: The disc is now turned through a small angle its vertical axis, the cords becomes inclined. One being released the disc will per-
form oscillations about the vertical axis. At any instant.

UNIFORM VIBRATION APPARATUS


Where, b = Distance of string from centre of gravity,
Rope T = Time period
Frame Circular L = Length of string, N = Number of oscillations
Disc T = Time taken for N Oscillations.

Procedure:
Cupboard
1. Hang the plate from chucks with 3 strings of equal lengths at
o
equal angular intervals (120 each).
2. Give the plate a small twist about its polar axis.
3. Measure the time taken, for 5 or 10 oscillations.
4. Repeat the experiment by changing the lengths of strings.

Observation Table:-
Sr No. Length of Time for n Tavg Texp fn Kth (m) Kexp (m) Error
cord (m) oscillation

Calculation: texp = Time for 10 oscillation /10 sec; fexp = 1/texp

For Trifilar suspension, fn = where, b = Distance of rope from centre


k = Radius of gyration
L = Length of String, m

Kexp=

Theoretically, for disc:- K = r/√2, where, r = radius of disc

Conclusion: The Kexp is approximantely equal to Ktho.
