What is Trifilar pendulum?

The trifilar pendulum is one of the most widely used methods for the measurement of the moment of inertia of a body around a rotating axis. In these cases, the amplitude of the motion influences the period of oscillation of the pendulum and affects the moment of inertia measured value.

What is bifilar suspension?

The bifilar suspension is a technique used to determine the moment of inertia of any type of object about any point on the object. This is done by suspending two parallel cords of equal length through the object examined.

What are the various methods of determination of moment of inertia?

The fundamental methods for determining the body’s moment of inertia are based on the principle of the compound pendulum, torsional suspension unit or bifilar suspension apparatus (and/or trifilar or quadrifilar suspension apparatus, as the case may be).

What do you need to know about trifilar pendulums?

For traditional methods using a trifilar pendulum, it is usually required that the centroid of the target body lie on the rotational axis of the pendulum. This is time consuming due to repetitive configuration adjustments of a heavy target body.

How does body fat distribution affect body shape?

Body shape is affected by body fat distribution, which is correlated to current levels of sex hormones. Muscles and fat distribution may change from time to time, unlike bone structure, depending on food habits, exercises and hormone levels.

What does the ideal body shape look like?

This body shape (typically presented as the “ideal”) describes a person with hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement.

What are the different types of female body shapes?

Female body shapes in the fashion industry 1 Apple, or inverted triangle. This body shape describes a person who has broader shoulders and bust than they do hips. 2 Banana, straight, or rectangle. 3 Pear, spoon, bell, or triangle. 4 Hourglass, X shape, triangles opposing, or facing inwards.
