The Torsion pendulum simulation will help to analyse various aspect of the torsion oscillation
of a string in different medium. A body which is suspended by thread or wire twist the suspension:
first in one direction and then in reverse direction , but the centre of the gravity
of the body remains at one place at all the time. Such an oscillation is called torsional
oscillation. Torsion pendulum consists of a massive disc
or cylinder or dumbbell suspended by a thin uniform wire which is firmly fixed to a rigid
support. The mass is rotated towards small angle about the wire at the axis and release
.The disc makes torsional oscillations. Using this simulator we can demonstrate tensional
oscillations of different objects such as disc, cylinder, dumb bell etc. Variation of
tensional oscillation with change of material of the string , study of variation of amplitude
of pendulum with time, study of variation of damping in different medium such as air,
water and olive oil etc.
