To determine the modulus of rigidity of the material of a wire by statical method Barton's a using apparatus
Barton's Apparatus for Modulus of Rigidity is a physics laboratory instrument designed to determine the modulus of rigidity (shear modulus) of the material of a wire using the static method. The apparatus demonstrates the torsional behavior of a wire when a known torque is applied and the resulting angular twist is measured.
In this experiment, a wire is mounted securely in the apparatus, and a known twisting couple is applied using suitable loading arrangements. The angle of twist produced by the applied torque is measured and used, along with the wire's dimensions and length, to calculate its modulus of rigidity. This experiment helps students understand torsional deformation, restoring torque, and the elastic properties of materials.
Ideal for physics laboratories in colleges, universities, and engineering institutions, Barton's Apparatus provides practical experience in elasticity, torsion, and the measurement of mechanical properties of materials.
Aim / Objective: Determine the stated elastic property of a material using the method specified in the experiment title.
