Immanuel Lutheran College S.6 Physics (AL) 2003-2004 Experiment Report 1 Name: Lam Kong Lan Class: 6B Class No.: 7 Title: Simple Harmonic Motion of a mass-spring system Objective: 1. To investigate the motion of a spring-mass system undergoing oscillation and to verify the relationship between the period of oscillation of a mass hanging from a spring and the mass. 2. To find out the force constant and effective mass of the spring. Apparatus:>> Light spring> Stop-watch> Horizontal bar> Balance>> Retort stand and clamp> Slotted mass with hanger 2 ×100g and 5 × 20g Theory: By Hooke's Law, for a mass m hanging from a spring, at the equilibrium position, the extension e of the spring is given by mg = ke where k is the force constant of the spring. Let x be the displacement of spring from the equilibrium position, then we have an expression of the net force acting on the mass as Fnet...
