Measurement of the Moment of Inertia of Missile‐type Bodies: A Modified Bifilar Torsion Pendulum Formula

Abstract

THE experimental determination of the moment of inertia of a body is frequently required to confirm a calculated value or to eliminate the tedious work involved in the calculation. This is normally done by integrating the body into a vibrating system, such as a pendulum.
