Kater’s Reversible Pendulum (Steel C.P.)


It is a compound pendulum constructed on the principle that the center of oscillation and the center of
suspension are interchangeable. It consists of a steel rod of 120cm long and 1.0 cm diameter capable of two
adjustable knife edges facing each other. Two metal weights (made of cast iron) of dimension 7.5 ×
3.75cm (length × diameter) and (3.5 × 3.75cm) respectively can be made to slide along the length of
the bar and can be clamped in any position. Two wooden weights exactly similar to metal weights can
also slide along the bar. With the help of this apparatus, we can find the acceleration due to gravity at a place.
Setup Contains:- Kater Pendulum S.S with Knife edge, Digital Stop Watch, Vernier Caliper & Inch Tape.
