2. Determination of the torsion modulus 𝑫𝝉

Using the above graph, we can see that:

The “best fit” line passes through the points (0.175, 0.063) and (0.524, 0.132)
The dotted line passes through the points (0.175, 0.062) and (0.524,
0.134)

∆τ
Therefore, we can measure the slope m as D = ∆φ
∆τ 0.132 − 0.063 Nm
Dτ = = = 0.198 ( )
∆φ 0.524 − 0.175 rad
Similarly,
0.134 − 0.062 Nm
D+
τ = = 0.206 ( )
0.524 − 0.175 rad
0.130 − 0.064 Nm
D−
τ = = 0.189 ( )
0.524 − 0.175 rad
Dτ+ − Dτ− Nm
→ ∆Dτ = = 0.009 ( )

Hence:

3. Moment of inertia of long rod

T 1.220 2
Iz = Dτ × ( ) = 0.198 × ( ) = 0.75 × 10−2 (kg. m2 )
2π 2 × 3.142

∆T 2 ∆Dτ 2 0.132 2 0.009 2

∆Iz = Iz × √(2 ) + ( ) = 0.75 × 10−2 √ (2 ) +( )

T ̅̅̅
Dτ 1.220 0.198
= 0.17 × 10−2 (kg. m2 )
Hence,

Iz = (0.75 ± 0.17) × 10−2 (kg. m2 )
