Have a little read: ... PHYSICS COURSEWORK AIM The aim of this investigation is to determine the value of 'g', where 'g' is the acceleration due to gravity. The value will be determined using the simple harmonic motion of a mass spring system. PREDICTION The aim of this investigation is to determine the value of gravity. I believe that my value of 'g' will be around 9.81ms-2 because the published value of gravity is 9.81ms-2 for reference check (http://www.egglescliffe.org.uk/physics/gravitation/bifilar/bif.html). This value was first discovered by a very famous scientist Isaac Newton. As we are talking about acceleration, we can consider formula's associated with it:- We know (if signs are ignored) * a- acceleration * - constant * - displacement * m- is the mass of the system The force causing the acceleration (a) at displacement () is ma, therefore ma/is force per unit displacement. Hence:- The period T of the simple harmonic motion is given by:- AND This shows that T increases if:- *
