Procedure:
1. Coincide the main and dummy pointer with each other at 18 Kg/m.
2. Release the pendulum from its rest position by pulling and
moving the
pendulum releasing lever without any load.
3. Note down the initial reading..
4. Fix the pendulum at 18 Kg/m position and fix the
specimen inside two piece
