    time of oscillation of a slinky Introduction
 In the 1950’s‚ Richard James accidentally discovered what we called today as the ‘slinky’. As he was trying to engineer a way to keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea‚ he accidentally knocked some springs off the shelf which caused them to fall. He noticed that these springs appeared to be gracefully “walking” down the shelves instead of them simply falling down. James’ accidental discovery sparked way for further understanding of springs. Nowadays

    Springs and Oscillators Abstract Two experiments were conducted to find the spring constant of a steel spring‚ and another experiment using a rubber band was performed to see if it agreed with Hooke’s law. The spring constant was found statically by measuring the distance traveled as different masses were applied‚ and also found dynamically by measuring the period of a mass hung from one end and pulled down then released into vertical oscillations. We found that the rubber band

    Calugay______ An experiment to obtain and compare the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) obtained in 2 ways (using the energy chapter and the dynamics chapter)‚ to confirm that Hooke’s Law is valid over a range of initial displacements‚ and to find the acceleration due to gravity on unknown Planet X. Problem: What are the spring constants of 3 strings (soft‚ medium‚ and hard) and how do they compare? Theory: To find the spring constants of each string‚ we can calculate the velocity

    Experiment 2 Lab Report: Calculating the Spring Constant and Verifying that Energy is Conserved Within a System Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the spring constant of a spring in the cart by measuring the force required to compress a spring as well as the distance the spring compressed relative to the equilibrium position. A cart was placed onto a slanted track and speed and force censors were used to record appropriate data. The spring constant was determined

    University of Utah‚ Salt Lake City‚ 84112‚ UT‚ USA (Dated: March 6‚ 2013) Using a simple pendulum the acceleration due to gravity in Salt Lake City‚ Utah‚ USA was found to be (9.8 +/- .1) m/s2 . The model was constructed with the square of the period of oscillations in the small angle approximation being proportional to the length of the pendulum. The model was supported by the data using a linear fit with chi-squared value: 0.77429 and an r-square value: 0.99988. This experimental value for gravity agrees

    conducted on 13th August 2008 in Machines Dynamics Laboratory. The experiment was conducted in groups of four‚ and was supervised by lecturer Mr. Mohd Azahari Johan. Conducting this experiment is for fulfilling the requirements of Applied Mechanics Lab (MEC 424). A pendulum is defined as body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and from by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery. Therefore‚ a compound
