An investigation into the time period of a mass-spring oscillating system Contents * Pages 2-3 Plan * Page 4 Results * Pages 5-9 Analysis * Page 10 Evaluation & Bibliography Plan In this experiment we will investigate the time period of a mass-spring oscillating system. Oscillation is the regular movement of a mass back and forth; from one direction to another e.g. a simple pendulum swinging back and forth. In this experiment, we will investigate the time period of a mass-spring oscillating system, which oscillates up and down. This motion is called simple harmonic motion. For this experiment we will need to use the following apparatus in order to achieve the desired results: Method: set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram. * Use the clamp to secure the spring so the top hook does not move about as this could affect the results. * Take a 100g mass hook, with 9 100g masses. * Start with just the mass hook, and pull down...
