The Disk moment apparatus explains the torque of a resultant of two or more than two concurrent forces about any point is equal to the algebraic sum of the torques of its components about the same point. In other words, “If many concurrent forces are acting on a body, then the algebraic sum of torques of all the forces about a point in the plane of the forces is equal to the torque of their resultant about the same point.
Experiments:
- To find moment of inertia by varying the mass and radius of weights attached to the disk.
- To measure the angular acceleration of the disk.
- To find the concurrent forces about the point.
- To familiarize with the laws of the addition of concurrent forces.
