Abstract
The equation of motion for torsion pendulums is solved to yield expressions for the internal friction and frequency of the specimen. They enable one to estimate explicitly the effect of the torsion wires on measurements for the inverted or Collette type. Drawbacks are found in the analysis for internal friction which Collette et al. (1961) made. Correct formulae for internal friction and frequency are presented.Keywords
