ABSTRACT
Hooke’s coupling experiment is about the investigation of various displacement for a single joint
at various angles and to prove that when two joints are used together with the same intermediate
angle, it will cancel out the variation in displacement. The apparatus that being used to conduct
this experiment is the Hooke’s Coupling apparatus and there are two parts in this experiment. As
for the first part, the left hand Bracket is set at angle 45˚ and the right hand Bracket at 0˚. Then,
the input shaft is rotated 10˚ each turn until it reached 360˚. As for the second part, both of the
hand Bracket is set at angle 30˚ at the same side and when finished, the processes are repeated
with the same value 30˚ but parallel to each other. The data obtained are recorded, tabulated and
graphed. The results obtained in first part showed that the increase in angle will also see the
increasing in displacement and velocity. The results obtained in second part showed that with the
same intermediate angle, we could see the constant with its displacement.

PROCEDURE
Part 1
1. The left-hand bracket was set up so that the angle, a1 between the shafts can be identified as
45°.
2. The other joint was set up so that the angle, a2 between the shafts equal to 0°.
3. Initially, the scale on the input shaft was set at 0° and the experiment was carried out by
rotating the input shaft by 10° increments for one whole rotation (360°).
4. The reading on the scales of both the input and output shafts was taken and tabulated.
Part 2
1. The two joints of the apparatus are set up so that both angles a1 and a2 were set at 30° and
bent at the same side.
2. Initially, the scale on the input shaft was set at 0° and the experiment was carried out by
rotating the input shaft by 10° increments for one whole rotation (360°).
3. The reading on the scales of both the input and output shafts was taken and tabulated.
4. The experiment was repeated with both angles a1 and a2kept at 30° but the input and output
shafts were set up so that they are parallel to each other.

Graph input shaft angle vs output shaft angle
14
DISCUSSION
Based on graph 1, for the output shaft vs input shaft angle, it shows that the output shaft angle
displayed a linear increment as the input shaft increases. From the initial point of 0 0, the
difference between the input and output angle was to be 5 0. According to theory although the
value was supposed to be 0 but since there occurred error in the measuring device itself, it may
have caused the difference in the angle. At an input angle 15 0,300, and 450 the resultant output
angle was within 95 to 98. This result shows that there may have a slight difference in the input
and the resultant output angle which the error was caused by the device, same output angle can
be obtained which proves the first objective of the experiment. For every increment of 900, the
pattern of the graph increased then decreased until it completes a complete revolution.
From graph 2, it is seen that the output shaft angle (tan) experienced linear increment till θ = 80 0,
then faced a sharp decline starting from the angle 900 when the input shaft angle increases. This
set of graphical pattern continued till it reaches a complete revolution for 150, 300, and 450 . From
the plotted graph, it is feasible to say that the data is valid and proven from the equation:
Based on graph 3, the output shaft velocity can be seen dropping from the starting angle of 0 0 till
900 then rise till 1800. The highest velocity reached was at the angle of 90 0, 1800, 2700, and 3600
which was 1.034 m/s. The graph plotted was in the form of sinusoidal graph. It can be said that
the higher the shaft angle, the higher the abundancy or speed.
15
Graph 4 shows a linearly proportional graph. This can be said that the output shaft angle is
directly proportional to the input shaft angle. For both when the shaft are parallel and
perpendicular, it has just about 5-7 offset displacement. Since the objective of the experiment for
this part is to prove that when two joints are used together with the same intermediate angle, the
variation in intermediate displacement is cancelled out.
From the experiment, it was seen that when α1= α2, the variation in the intermediate
displacement is cancelled out as the output angle was close to the same as the input angle
keeping aside the device error. When α1 is not the same as α2, there would be some minor
intermediate displacement taking place.
