The purpose of this lab experiment is to study the behavior of springs in static and dynamic situations. oscillating in a simple harmonic motion (SHM). Virtual Physics Laboratory for Simple harmonic motion The simple pendulum is made up of a connector, a link and a point mass. Conclusions The laboratory experiment was mentioned to gain knowledge on basic parameters of the simple harmonic oscillation: period, frequency, and damping. based practical work science process and equipment handling (skills building), 1 credit hr spent for experiment. This was calculated using the mean of the values of g from the last column and the corresponding standard deviation. Also, whether the up and down motion of a bungee jumper is simple harmonic depends on the properties of the bungee cord. Download. By clicking Accept All, you consent to the use of ALL the cookies.

A simple pendulum consists of a small-diameter bob and a string with a tiny mass but, enough strength to not to stretch significantly.

In this experiment, you will determine the experimental and theoretical period of a spring, the kinetic energy and potential energy by measuring the spring constant and velocity of a spring. , (2016, May 24). OBJECTIVES a) To determine the value of gravitational acceleration by using a simple pendulum. If the spring is This sensor was set to a frequency of . This way, the pendulum could be dropped from a near-perfect \(90^{\circ}\) rather than a rough estimate. , experiment (MS Word format): Enter TA password to view the Lab Manual write up for this Furthermore, the derived, equation for calculating the period of any given, simple pendulum was also found to be very, accurate whenever the angle of displacement of the, pendulum is small since only a 1.943% percent. (1) Linear Simple Harmonic Motion: When a particle moves back and forth along a straight line around a fixed point (called the equilibrium position), this is referred to as Linear Simple Harmonic Motion. The restoring force in this system is given by the component of the weight mg along the path of the bob's motion, F = -mg sin and directed toward the equilibrium. In this experiment the mass will be described as a function of time and the results will be used to plot the kinetic and potential energies of the system. We pulled the mass down and released it to let it oscillate. Repeat that procedure for three more times and at each trial, add 20 more grams to the mass. It was concluded that the mass of the pendulum hardly has any effect on the period of the pendulum but the . The value of mass, and the the spring constant. period of 0.50s. This cookie is set by GDPR Cookie Consent plugin. For a spring-mass system, such as a block attached to a spring, the spring force is responsible for the oscillation (see Figure 1). A good example of SHM is an object with mass m attached to a spring on a frictionless surface, as shown in Figure 15.3. We can then determine the spring constant for this spring: 2: Spring attached to the free end of the beam The period, T, of a pendulum of length L undergoing simple harmonic motion is given by: T = 2 L g. Thus, by measuring the period of a pendulum as well as its length, we can determine the value of g: The equation for a pendulum that relates the variables involved is: 2 f =. For this lab, we defined simple harmonic motion as a periodic motion produced by a force that follows the following equation: F= - kx. ), {
