18、3 Balance Point CalibrationFollowing 7.1, the BP ofthe calibration rod shall be Lc/2 6 0.05 in. (1 mm). If the BPof the calibration rod is outside the allowed range, check thecalibrations of the scales and support fixture.6.4 Mass Moment of Inertia CalibrationUsing the mea-sured properties of the ca

20、ion of BP:7.1.1 Measure and record the overall bat length to thenearest 0.06 in. (1.5 mm). Place the bat level on the BP fixtureas shown in Fig. 2. Record the measured weights (W6and W24)to the nearest 0.035 oz (1.0 g). Calculate the BP relative to theknob end of the bat using Eq 2:BP 56W6124W24Wt(2

21、)where:BP = BP from knob end of the bat, in. (mm)W6= weight of the bat measured 6 in. (152 mm) from theknob, oz (g)W24= weight of the bat measured 24 in. (610 mm) from theknob, oz (g)Wt=W6+W24= total weight of the bat, oz (g)7.2 Determination of COP:7.2.1 Apply the clamp to the bat handle so that th

22、e pivotlocation (point of the vee on underside of the clamp) is 6 60.03 in. (152 6 0.8 mm) from the knob end of the bat (see Fig.1). Hang the bat in the stand making sure the bat hangsvertically and can swing freely about the pivots. If the bat doesnot hang vertically, correct by centering the bat b

Allow the bat to swing through five cycles (that is,settle into simple pendulum oscillation). Start the electronictimer

24、 when bat reaches the fifth swing cycle. Stop the timeronce the bat has completed 15 full cycles. The timer shall betriggered by a light beam broken by the path of the bat at thebottom of the pendulum arc. Do not use these results if thestandard deviation of the last 10 period measurements isgreater

25、 than 0.001 s. Determine and record the average periodfor the bat, T, using Eq 3:T 5110p61p711p15!
