Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus
Model Number: MTM-96
The Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a double-pendulum setup designed for investigating the fundamental properties of pendulum motion. The MT-10566D features two steel pendulum balls with individually adjustable string lengths, allowing comparative experiments involving pendulum length, frequency, time period, oscillation and beat phenomena.
Product Specification
The Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for practical investigation of the fundamental properties of pendulum motion. Its double-pendulum arrangement allows two pendulums to be operated and compared within the same experimental setup.
The MT-10566D incorporates two steel balls suspended by individual strings. The length of each pendulum can be varied independently, enabling the effect of pendulum length on oscillation frequency and time period to be investigated directly.
Each pendulum is mounted to an approximately 13 mm diameter rod arrangement, providing suitable mechanical support for repeated oscillation experiments. The steel balls provide consistent pendulum bobs for comparative investigations.
One of the principal relationships that can be studied using the apparatus is:
T = 2π√(L/g)
where T is the time period of oscillation, L is the effective pendulum length and g is acceleration due to gravity.
By altering the string length, users can observe that a longer pendulum generally has a longer time period and lower frequency, while a shorter pendulum oscillates with a shorter period and higher frequency under comparable conditions.
The double-pendulum configuration also makes the apparatus useful for studying beat phenomena. When two pendulums are adjusted to slightly different natural frequencies, their relative motion can be observed over time to investigate periodic reinforcement and cancellation effects.
A stopwatch can be used with the apparatus for quantitative measurement of oscillation periods. Measuring several complete oscillations and calculating the average period can help improve experimental precision.
The apparatus can therefore support experiments involving simple pendulum motion, variable string length, time period, frequency, oscillation and beats within a compact mechanical setup.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, mechanics laboratories, dynamics laboratories, research facilities and other environments conducting oscillation investigations.

FAQs
What is the MT-10566D Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus used for?
The MT-10566D is designed for investigating pendulum length, oscillation period, frequency, simple pendulum behaviour and beat phenomena.
How many pendulums are provided?
The apparatus incorporates two pendulums for individual and comparative experiments.
Can the length of each pendulum be adjusted separately?
Yes. The string length of each pendulum can be varied independently, allowing different experimental configurations.
What type of pendulum bobs are provided?
The apparatus uses steel balls as pendulum bobs.
What is the diameter of the support rod?
The support rod is approximately 13 mm in diameter.
Can beat phenomena be demonstrated?
Yes. By adjusting the two pendulums to have slightly different oscillation frequencies, the setup can be used to investigate beat phenomena and changing relative motion.
Can a stopwatch be used with the apparatus?
Yes. A suitable stopwatch can be used to measure the time for multiple oscillations and determine the average time period and frequency.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The Adjustable Pendulum Apparatus operates mechanically and requires no electrical power for standard experiments.
