1. INTRODUCTION
A small weight (or bob) suspended by a cord forms a simple pendulum. When the
pendulum is set swinging, the time (t) swing is found to be constant for a given
length of pendulum and is not affected by the weight of the bob or (within limits)
by the extent of the arc of swing. This constant time of swing of a simple
pendulum forms the basis of time-keeping by some clocks.
A pendulum swings under the action of gravity. The force of gravity acting on a
freely falling body will give it a steadily increasing speed, or acceleration, which
is the same for all bodies, whatever their weight. This acceleration (denoted by g)
can be calculated the time of swing of a simple pendulum.
2. OBJECTIVES
The objective of this experiment is to show that the time of a simple pendulum
depends only on the length of the pendulum, and to determine the value of the
force of gravity using a simple pendulum.
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the concept of
simple pendulum.
4. EXPERIMENTAL THEORY
It can be shown mathematically, that the time (t) of swing of a simple pendulum
(L) is given by the formula :
L
t 2
g
Since and g are both constant, then t constant L i.e. the time of swing of
a simple pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length of the
pendulum.

TOPIC: PROJECTILE
1. INTRODUCTION
A projectile is a body which is propelled (or thrown) with some initial velocity,
and then allowed to be acted upon by the forces of gravity and possible drag. The
maximum upward distance reached by the projectile is called the height, the
horizontal distance traveled the range (or sometimes distance), and the path of the
object is called its trajectory. If a body is allowed to free-fall under gravity and is
acted upon by the drag of air resistance, it reaches a maximum downward velocity
known as the terminal velocity.
2. OBJECTIVES
The objective of this experiment is to determine the distance traveled by the initial
movement throughout the sliding platform and the movement when the particle
free-fall to the ground under the action of gravity.
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the concept of
projectile and the application.

1. INTRODUCTION
The energy of body is a measure of its capability for doing work. Energy exists in
a variety of forms but it cannot be created or destroyed by human. Energy can
only be transformed. Conservation of energy states that during the motion the sum
of the particle’s kinetic and potential energy remains constant. For this to occur,
kinetic energy must be transformed into potential energy, and vice versa. The
conservation of energy equation is used to solve problem involving velocity,
displacement and conservative forces system.
2. OBJECTIVES
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the concept of
conservation of energy and the application.
4. EXPERIMENTAL THEORY
There are two types of energy which are called POTENTIAL and KINETIC.
POTENTIAL ENERGY (PE) is the amount of WORK AVAILABLE in a given
body at rest. A weight raised above some datum level is said to possess potential
Therefore if a weight (W) is raised through the distance (H1) the work available is
equal to W x H1, and this amount of energy was given up as the weight fell. See
Fig. 1.
During the test weight (W) ascended to the height (H2). At this final position it
again possesses Potential Energy. Therefore:

4. Then, release the flywheel from the height, h1. Ensure there is no
obstructed during its fall. Wait until the weight reaches the lowest position.
5. While flywheel lifts the load, be careful and mark the level of h2 at the
panel board.

1. INTRODUCTION
2. OBJECTIVES
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the concept of
crank motion and the application.
4. EXPERIMENTAL THEORY
The driving force, called the Turning Moment (TM) is continually changing
during each revolution of the crank. This is partly due to the fact that the force (P)
produced at the piston does NOT remain constant, and partly due to the nature of
the link mechanism. In this experiment, the piston force (P) is ASSUMED to be
constant so that the effect of link mechanism may be considered in detail without
further complication. The Turning Moment (TM) at any instant is equal to F x d,
but both (F) and (d) vary as the crank revolves.
This experiment will show the rate at which Turning Moment (TM) varies and
rate during each the TM is zero. Turning Moment (TM) graph obtained as Figure

COURSE INFORMATION
1. INTRODUCTION
A flexible coupling or universal joint is frequently used to link with two shafts and
transmit circular motion from the other. Indeed continuous circular motion is
perhaps the single largest thing that mankind produces in the world with the
available energy. A universal joint is simply and combination of machine
elements which transmit rotation from one axis to another.
2. OBJECTIVES
3. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the operating
principles and application of the universal coupling.
4. EXPERIMENTAL THEORY
Shafts are used to transmit rotary motion and in most cases these shafts rotate in
bearings set in a straight line. However, there are cases where the shaft cannot be
straight and it has to be operated through an angle X, refer Figure 1. A good
example in common use is the shaft which transmit power from a motor car
engine through its gearbox to the back axle to drive the rear wheels. Here the shaft
is generally at an angle and the operation is further complicated by the fact that
the angle varies when the motor car runs over bumps in the road.
