DISCUSSION
This experiment is objectively to determine the mass moment of inertia, (IG and IO) by suspending a wooden pendulum to the pivot point using Vee slot and rod support ( both initially be swing from degree of 150 ). It is found that the yield of IG and IO from both suspension point is absolutely different although they share the same value of mass of the wooden pendulum. The period is also vary for the both point set. It is happen because the different support for the pendulum. After data was taken, I calculate the period of oscillation, T1 and T2 from those two different suspension point. Hence after getting T value, the value of IG and IO can be determined by using certain formula. The value that I get by experimentally is quite closed to the theoretically. The closest percentages that I get are only 1.8% from the theory values. The errors that I get are might due to several unwanted errors. The time was taken manually by using stopwatch and I think that the errors occur during the starting and finishing of pendulum swinging. It was a human error that we try to reduce it. Furthermore, it is maybe cause by using a wrong formula to determine the theoretical value. Besides, the discrepancy might be due to air velocity which slightly occurs the movement of pendulum during swinging process. On top of that, while we set the angle of 15O , the error might occur too. It is because we just randomly guess the angle by using naked eyes. After discussion with my other team member, some of them gets a very closed value by experimentally and it is shown, our experiment does not fail. Actually, the result that I obtain are not expected because the formula that we need to use is quite complicated and we also lack of experience in laboratory procedure.
. By the end of the day we managed to find the value of Moment of Inertia and pertaining to the period of oscillation. To be more precise, more readings should be taken for each swing and then the average values are calculated. Furthermore, the person who is in charge of conducting the experiment must be briefed carefully on how the experiment must be conducted and not just let us do by our self by referring the manual. If needed, they must be trained in terms of standard of operation. In a nutshell, if these errors is reduced or eliminate, the experiment might help to achieve its target. The objective of the experiment is successfully achieved by us. Lastly, we could conclude our experiment is successful.
