Advanced Mechanics Virtual Lab
The objectives of the Advanced Mechanics Virtual Lab (Physical Sciences) are:
- To determine the rigidity modulus of various materials using torsion pendulum and static torsion methods.
- To evaluate Young’s modulus through uniform and non-uniform bending experiments using standard measurement techniques.
- To understand and analyze the behavior of a compound pendulum, including symmetric designs and Kater’s pendulum, for accurate measurement of gravitational acceleration.
- To investigate torsional oscillations and their dependence on moment of inertia and restoring torque.
- To enhance conceptual clarity and experimental skills related to elasticity and oscillatory motion through visual simulation and data interpretation.
- To encourage inquiry-based learning by allowing students to manipulate experimental conditions and observe the resulting effects in real-time.
