Objective: Confirm Newton’s equation of motion
For a body that rotates about a fixed axis with uniform acceleration, the angle of rotation φ increases
in proportion to the square of the time t. From this proportionality factor it is possible to calculate the
angular acceleration α, which in turn depends, according to Newton’s equation of motion, on the
accelerating torque (turning moment) and the moment of inertia of the rigid body.
