Mechanical Engineering (UEME3133) - Mass Moment of Inertia Experiment

This report details an experiment conducted to determine the mass moment of inertia of a T-shaped bar. The experiment involved suspending the bar and measuring its oscillation period at different angles. The report includes the methodology, experimental setup, procedure, collected data, calculations of the moment of inertia about the pivot and the center of gravity, and a discussion of the results. The student analyzes potential sources of error, such as human error in timing and parallax error, and suggests improvements to enhance accuracy. The conclusion summarizes the findings, including the calculated percentage errors, and confirms the achievement of the experiment's objective.
