Question

Lab 41A: Spring and Mass Oscillations Introduction The period of oscillation, T, for a mass on a spring is given by T- 2a Nm/k Eqn 11) where m is the oscilating mass and kis the spring constant. In this lab, the Motion Sensor measures the position of the oscillating mass, and the Force Sensor is used to determine the spring constant The period of oscillation is measured, and compared to the theorectical value. Equipment roty tems art Setup Motion Sensor PS-2103A 5.2189 1. Use the Large Base, rods, and ensor 1 Density Set ME-0569 Spring ME 8999 Mult-Clamp to support the Force Sensor as shown in Figure 1. 1 Braided String SE-8050 2. Plug Force Sensor into Port P4, and 90 cm ME-8738 tare the sensor. ME-8736 45 cm 3. Position the Motion Sensor as ME-9507 Large Rod Base ME shown and plug it into Port P1. red but not 4. Am the Motion Sensor upwards, 1 Balance E-8723 towards the Force Sensor. Written by Jon Hanks Multi- Force Clamp Sensor Spring 90 ct Mass Rod Base Motion Sensor Figure 1. Spring and Mass Oscillation

Explanation / Answer

Objective - The Purpose of the following experiment is to find out the Spring constant of a spring tied to a mass on the bottom using the time period analysis using a force sensor on top,

Description - We know the relation of time period of oscillation of the spring-mass system is inversely related to the square root of the spring constant, hence find the time priod and mass will yield out Spring constant
