IGNOU BPHCL-132
- Mechanics: Laboratory,
Latest CBCS Help Book Edition

BPHCL–132 sheds light on the practical side of mechanics. In BPHCL-132, students learn about measurements and error analysis and graphing. The critical experiments taught in this course include measurement of length, determination of the moment of inertia of a flywheel about its axis of rotation, determination of Young’s modulus by bending of beams, the study of the motion of a spring-mass system, measuring acceleration due to gravity using Bar and Kater’s pendulum, and resolving elastic constants of a wire by Searle’s method.
