Question

Why the time period of maxwell's needle experiment to find rigidity modulus changes as solid and hollow cylinders are interchanged?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Because time period is proportional to moment of inertia and when we change position of hollow and solid cylinders the moment of inertia changes ...

Answer 2

• The modulus of rigidity, also known as shear modulus, is defined as the ratio of shear stress to shear strain of a structural member.

• This property depends on the material of the member: the more elastic the member, the higher the modulus of rigidity.

• To find rigidity modulus changes as solid and hollow cylinders are interchanged Because time period is proportional to moment of inertia and when we change position of hollow and solid cylinders the moment of inertia changes.
