This Moment of Inertia Table is a precision physics laboratory apparatus designed for studying rotational motion and determining the moment of inertia of different regular bodies. It is suitable for schools, colleges, engineering institutions, and physics laboratories.

 The apparatus comprises an aluminium disc of approximately 15 cm diameter with a concentric groove for placing balancing weights to set the disc horizontally. An inverted U-shaped metal frame is mounted on the aluminium disc, with a chuck provided at the midpoint. The frame is suspended by a steel wire from a vertical stand fitted with a circular base and leveling screws for accurate adjustment.

 A mirror is attached at the center of the frame to help count oscillations during the experiment. The apparatus is supplied with masses of regular geometric shapes such as rectangular, square, circular, and triangular bodies, making it useful for comparative study of moment of inertia.
