Mass-Spring Oscillations Lab



We predict that the Period Vs Mass graph should be a power 1/2 curve and Period Vs Spring constant should be a power -1/2 curve.






Period Vs Mass



Period Vs Spring Constant 




Find the period of swinging semi-cycle and triangle when they are hanging two ways.




compare the calculation value, T 1=0.627 s which is not quite close the measurement value 0.728 s 
T 2 =0.731 s is a good prediction because the measurement value is 0.737 s .










compare with calculation value T=0.771 s less than 1% mistake.
compare with calculation value T=0.737 s less than 1% mistake.
