Lab 9: Simple Harmonic Motion

 

Equipment List:

  1. LabPro interface
    • Vernier Motion Detector 2 (D5.4) (DIG/SONIC 1) with:
    • Vernier Force sensor (ANALOG CH1) (D5.3)
  2. Large table clamp (A3.4)
  3. 1.83m rod (A1), right angle clamp (A2.4), and 30 cm small diameter rod (A2.5)
  4. SHM Spring set (D8.1)
    • Brass, helical
    • Steel short ~ 5 cm
    • Steel longer ~10 cm
    • 5g mass hanger with small sail
  5. One meter stick (A1)
  6. Small metric ruler (D5.1)
  7. Hanging mass set ( 2-10 g, 2-20 g, 2-50 g, 1-100 g, 2-200 g) (A2.5)
  8. 50 gram mass hanger (A3.5)
  9. 9x9 Sail for bottom of hanging weight (D8.1)

Notes and Tests:

  1. Hot Lava Game!
  2. Start the Logger Pro software. Click "Collect" and Push and pull a spring and mass hanger attached to the force sensor hook. As the mass hanger moves back and forth the force and position data will be recorded on the graphs.
