Experiment to Measure Factors Effecting the Oscillation of a Spring The full oscillation of a spring is the time taken for the spring to go from the middle (a) to the top (b), to bottom (c) and back to the middle. This is shown in fig 1. The aim of this is experiment is to find the effect of one measurable factor on an oscillating spring then vary that factor to find how much of an effect it has at different strengths. First off I must decide what variables could have an effect on the speed of the oscillating spring. From my scientific knowledge and preliminary experiments (The Oscillation of a Pendulum) I decided the two measurable factors were the weight (N) at the bottom of the spring and the amplitude (cm) of the spring. I decided to variegate the weight whilst keeping the amplitude constant. By keeping these rules and...
