Notes :
The experiment procedures should be carefully read from the lab manual before the lab session.
Lab reports should be submitted on time to avoid any grades decductions.
Each student should bring his/her laptop and work on his/her data,graphs and calculations in person not in groups.
All your calculations and equations used to compute any value should be clearly stated.
All equations should be written using the equation design. (Insert -> Equation)
All calculated quantities should be expressed with their correct units.
The lab report should be readable, well organized and formated.
Any note concering your report you wish to point out to the instructor should be written in the "Notes to the instructor" cells.
Each graph should contain the following :
A scatter plot with all your data points.
A descriptive chart title.
Axis titles (Physical quantity and its unit).
A suitable scale for each of the axis (0.000 or E+10 slopes are not accepted because they are massively rounded).
A legend in case of multiple plots on the same graph.
A suitable intercept of the trendline (if any).
An equation for the trendline on graph (if any).
Error bars representing the uncertainty in each reading

Answer the following questions :

1) What is a Rigid Body?

is the ideal case of a solid body in wh

deformation is neglected regardless of the external f

2) If you have two solid cylinders of identical mass M and radius R, the first spins with angular velo
one should have larger moment of inertia?

I=1/2 MR^2 for the solid cylinders & so they both will be the same as mome

3) If you have a solid cylinder of mass M and radius R, and a hollow cylinder of same mass M and o
moment of inertia?

hollow cylinder as Moment of inertia a

the defined axis will be equal 1/2m*(Rone^2+Rtwo^2) so it will have larger I as interia is d

4) A motor is attached to a carousel at its center to make it start spinning. To reach a given angular s
