The torsion pendulum may be used to investigate free,
forced and chaotic oscillations with various degrees of
damping.
Experiment topics:
• Free rotary oscillations at various degrees of damp-
ing (oscillations with light damping, aperiodic os-
cillation and aperiodic limit)
• Forced rotary oscillations and their resonance
curves at various degrees of damping
• Phase displacement between the exciter and reso-
nator during resonance
• Chaotic rotary oscillations
• Static determination of the direction variable D
• Dynamic determination of the moment of inertia J
1. Safety instructions
• When removing the torsional pendulum from the
packaging do not touch the scale ring. This could

lead to damage. Always remove using the handles
provided in the internal packaging.
• When carrying the torsional pendulum always hold
it by the base plate.
• Never exceed the maximum permissible supply
voltage for the exciter motor (24 V DC).
• Do not subject the torsional pendulum to any un-
necessary mechanical stress.
2. Description, technical data
The Professor Pohl torsional pendulum consists of a
wooden base plate with an oscillating system and an
electric motor mounted on top. The oscillating system
is a ball-bearing mounted copper wheel (5), which is
connected to the exciter rod via a coil spring (6) that
provides the restoring torque. A DC motor with coarse
and fine speed adjustment is used to excite the tor-
sional pendulum. Excitement is brought about via an
eccentric wheel (14) with connecting rod (13) which
