Kater\'s Reversible Pendulum (to Find acceleration due to gravity)-By Reliant Lab:
$164.19

A physical pendulum with two adjustable knife edges for an accurate determination of "g".

An important application of the pendulum is the determination of the value of the acceleration due to gravity. By adding a second knife-edge pivot and two adjustable masses to the physical pendulum described in the Physical Pendulum demo, the value of g can be determined to 0.2% precision.

Using a simple pendulum, the value of g can be determined by measuring the length L and the period T. The value of T can be obtained with considerable precision by simply timing a large number of swings, but comparable precision in the length of the pendulum is not so easy. For example, it's hard to estimate where exactly the center of the mass is.

To overcome this difficulty we can turn a physical pendulum into a so-called reversible (Kater's) pendulum. Two knife-edge pivot points and two adjustable masses are positioned on the rod so that the period of swing is the same from either edge.
