III. Analysis: Based from the data in Table 1, answer the following questions.
a. What factors determine the moment of inertia of a solid disk pulley?
The factors that determine the moment of inertia of a solid disk pulley are the Falling
mass, the squared radius of the pulley, and its linear acceleration.
b. What effect does the falling mass have on the moment of inertia of the solid disk pulley?
The effect of the falling mass on the moment of inertia of the solid disk pulley is, as the
weight of the falling mass increases, the moment of inertia decreases.
c. What effect does increasing/decreasing the falling mass m have on linear acceleration?
The effect of the increase and decrease of weight of the falling mass in linear acceleration
is the rate of velocity changes. As the weight increases, the linear acceleration becomes
faster, and as the weight decreases, the linear acceleration becomes slower.

IV. Conclusion:
Experiment 103, named Moment of Inertia, was successfully completed using the
virtual laboratory called the Moment of Inertia of Pulley. Table 1 shows the different values
recorded in the virtual simulation, which had a pulley mass of 0.550 kg and a radius of the
pulley that is 0.100 m. Our lab activity is all about the moment of Inertia. The data above
shows that inertia is dependent on the acceleration and weight of the falling object. When
the acceleration increases, the torque increases with it. With that in mind, our group also
noticed the relationship between the angular acceleration and the moment of inertia. The
bigger the value of the Moment of Inertia, the lesser the value of angular acceleration.

III. Analysis: Based from the data in Table 2, answer the following questions.
a. What factors determine the moment of inertia of a ring pulley?
The moment of inertia is determined by the falling mass and the total of the inner and
outer radius.
b. What effect does the falling mass have on the moment of inertia of the ring pulley?
The larger falling mass affects the moment of inertia of the ring pulley by increasing it.
c. What effect does increasing/decreasing the falling mass m have on linear acceleration?
If the falling mass increases, the linear acceleration increases as well.

IV. Conclusion:
Table 2 in experiment 103 was also completed using the virtual laboratory called the
Moment of Inertia of Pulley. The difference between table 1 and table 2 is that table 2 has
an Inner radius of the pulley that is 0.085 m and an outer radius of the pulley that is 0.100
m. However, the mass of the pulley remains at 0.550 kg.
