Harmonic Motion Analysis

of a Connecting Rod


Brief Description

The video shows a comparison between the actual and the computational oscillation of a connecting rod that is left to naturally oscillate around two pivot points. Surprisingly, many data can be obtained from a naturally oscillating object by deriving simple harmonic equations. Such equations can be used to determined the moment of inertia of the object, in addition to its CG location.
