Abstract:
To show that the mass spring system is a good example for oscillating motion.
Introduction:
The unloded length of spring is mesured. Slotted masses are added to the spring.
Record each stretching force in N and the corresponding length of the spring.
5. Pointer 6. Weights
When choosing the string make sure to check whether it’s non-elastic. Otherwise the
elasticity will affect the readings.
The experiment generates more accurate results if we use metallic pendulum and a very light
string.

Theory:
Measuring the stretching produced by different loads, added to the spring, tests the elasticity of a
spring.
Due to the restoring force, simple harmonic motion is caused in a straight line in which the
acceleration and the restoring force are directly proportional to the displacement of the vibrating
load from the equilibrium position.
F = −kx.
