Marvin, SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION EXPERIMENT In this experiment you will measure the spring constant using two different methods and compare your results. Hooke’s law for a spring states that: F=-t, qa where x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium, F is the force exerted by the spring, and kis the spring constant. The negative sign just means that the restoring force is opposite in direction to the displacement. {fa spring obeys Hooke’s law, then a mass hung from the end of the spring will undergo simple harmonic motion when displaced from equilibrium and released. That is, \" \ pees, / ny x= Acos(ai%Bt, @ ‘a here 4 is the amplitude of oscillation (maximum displacement from equilibrium), « is the WW angular frequency in rad/s, and ¢ is a phase angle that depends on when timing starts. « is related to the frequency in hertz (f) and the petiod (T) by w= 2af'= 22/7. By substituting Eq. 2) into Eq. (1) and using Newton's 2" law of motion, it can be shown that woe Eat @) ‘Thus, & can be measured statically using Eq. (1) or dynamically using Eq. (3). Preliminary Questions 1. Which will have a longer period of oscillation 7, amass of 0.6 kg hanging from the spring, or a mass of 0.7 kg (same spring)’ ee naa 2.

Hang a mass holder from the end of the spring and measure the displacement from this position for added masses m= 0.1 kg, 0.2 kg, ... 0.5 kg (or 5 values of m appropriate to your spring). Plot F (= mg) versus x and determine k from the slope of the line, Submit your ‘graph with your report, Fe ky Ke gaisan S i 2. Hang the spring and mass holder from the force sensor. Connect the force sensor to the asco interface and set up Data Studio so that you can graph force as a function of time. Set the sample rate of the force sensor to 50 Hz.. Beginning with m =0.1 kg, displace the mass from equilibrium and measure force versus time. Fit the data to a sine wave and determine the period 7’ from your fit parameters. Repeat for m = 0.2 kg, ... , 0.5 kg. Now plot 7” versus m and determine the slope of the line, Be sure to include the mass of the mass holder. Use the slope to determine &. ‘Submit a sample fit to the sine wave, your table of values for 7’ and m, and your graph of 7° vs. m with your report. m T \ 2D 7503 = Te * + 139 z a Ss & = 1A a 7 ~ BSENS uestions j N 1.
