- This lab is designed to serve as an introductory course on hands-on
physics experiments, built around the theme of Mechanics. The lab
proceeds in tandem with the Mechanics course offered in the same
semester. Experiments in this course include: exploring simple
harmonic motion through different pendulum setups such as Kater's
pendulum, compound pendulum and torsion pendulum, measuring g by free
fall, estimating Young's modulus by Searle's method and bending of
beam method, gyroscope motion. Concepts taught in this course include
measurements, quantitative estimation of physical quantities, the
different types of error that can arise in an experiment.
