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

Kater's Pendulum is a device used to measure the acceleration due to gravity. It consists of a rigid metal bar with two pivot points, adjustable weights, and knife edges at either end.

Consist of :-

• Metal Bar: A 120 cm long, one cm diameter steel rod with adjustable knife edges at both ends.

• Adjustable Metal Weights: Two cast iron weights, one measuring 7.5 x 3.75 cm and the other 3.5 x 3.75 cm. These weights can slide along the bar and be clamped at any position.

• Adjustable Wooden Weights: Similar in size to the metal weights, these wooden weights can also slide along the bar.

• This setup allows for precise adjustments to balance the pendulum for accurate measurements of gravitational acceleration.
