Abstract

In this plan we propose to study the moment of the inertia of a solid body experimentally, with a complex geometry, by using a rotational system with the help of a computer. To this, we resorted to our experience of measuring the moment of inertia of a solid, with a known geometry. In our previous experience, we used a system of measurement with the help of the opt electronic sensor, a circuit RC, an analogic system to measure the electric current and/or an oscilloscope to measure frequency. By using this system, we determine the angular acceleration and the applied torque of the solid, and then, with the slop of best linear fit of the experimental results, we measure its moment of the inertia. By means of a new computerized measurement system, that have specific software, an interface and a sensor of rotational movement to realize the acquisition of the dates, we can use the same methodology used in non computerized system and obtain the rotational inertia of the body. The advantage of the new system is in the acquisition of dates. Information about position, velocity and acceleration are easily obtained. By this means, it is possible to obtain a more rapid result and a better precision in the experiment. To make use of computerized system, we study the dynamic of the rotation to a fluid in a cylinder. We will determine its "moment of inertia". Two situations are considered in our measures, one of them when the fluid is in the solid state and another partially solid. By using these results we can determine the loss of energy because of the intern friction in fluid. (AU)
