Educational Work
The Workshop of Physics – Thermodynamics supports the educational work of the Department of Mechanical Engineering by covering the teaching of theoretical and laboratory part by the following clases: Physics I, Physics II, Thermodynamics
Objective
The Physics Workshop has as main objective to bring together tomorrow’s technologist engineer with the Experimental Physics and more specifically with the substance of the experimental procedure: to measure a physical quantity, export useful conclusions by graphic and / or numerical processing of measurements and quantitative assessment of the accuracy of the final result.
Furthermore, the Physics Workshop has equipment that serves the development of dissertation projects, conducting research and providing services to thirds.
Educational equipment
To serve the educational processthe Workshop has integrated experimental devices, each of which serves two students. The provisions cover the following topics:
- Measuring the static and kinetic friction
- Composition of electronic harmonic oscillations
- The fundamental equation of Engineering (Machine Atwood)
- Coefficient of linear thermal expansion
- Composition of coplanar forces
- Straight smoothly accelerated motion
- Freefall
- Determination of gyration with the method of speed oscillations
- Hooke’s Law – Harmonic oscillation of coil springs
- Measurement of gravitational acceleration on the simple pendulum
- Ohm’s Law
- DC Circuit
- Resonance in forced electromagnetic oscillations RLC circuit in series
- Determination of the gravitational constant (by torsion balance in Gavendisch)
- Earth’s magnetic field
- Grading of thermal element
- Transistors – Crystal triods
- Electromagnetic induction – inductance
- Law of thermal radiation of Stefan – Boltzmann
- Diffraction spectra of hydrogen and mercury
- Joule’s Law
