Restoring Forces & Spring Constant (F=-kx), Vibrations (cycle, per
PHY 100 & 103
Lab PDFThis lab focuses on the motion of a spring mass system in which a hanging mass is displaced and released, and the effects of three forces (gravity, restoring force, and friction) are assesed.
Equipment
| Name | Location | Quantity |
| Springs, 12" | JE-105A-D52,53 | 1 per table |
| Weight Hangers, 50g | JE-105A-D44 | 1 per table |
| Rubber Bands | JE-105A-X30,S153 | 1 per table |
| Timer - 389 | JE-105A-D62 | 1 per table |
| Meter Stick - 2.00m | JE-105A-(105 Door-L) | 1 per table |
| Clamp, Pendulum | JE-105A-D65 | 1 per table |
Notes
The pendulum clamps have a piece of metal between the extended arm and the screw. It is important that the spring is secured between the extended arm and the piece of metal, NOT just placed on the screw.
Make sure that the room has plenty of paper.
