Analysis of Simple Harmonic Motion Lab Table 1 (20 points for first and third columns) Mass (kg) Weight (N) Displacement, Δy (m) 0.050 kg 0.491 N 0.13 m 0.075 0.736 0.19 0.100 0.981 0.25 0.125 1.226 0.32 0.150 1.472 0.38 0.175 1.717 0.43 0.200 1.962 0.50 0.225 2.207 0.56 0.250 2.453 0.62 0.275 2.698 0.68 0.300 2.943 0.74 1. Calculate the weight for each mass and fill in the middle column. Show the work for one of these calculations to receive credit. (5 points) - Weight = mass x gravity - Weight = 0.05 kg x 9.81 m/s 2 = 0.49 N 2. Using Excel or some other graphing program, plot Weight vs Displacement. Use the trendline to find the slope of your graph. The slope is the Spring Constant of this spring. Record the value of the slope in the space provided below. Turn in this graph with the lab worksheet. Make sure the trendline is displayed on the graph. 1
Measured Spring Constant, k (N/m): ___4.0131 N/m___ (10 points) Table 2 (5 points) Mass (kg) 0.100 kg Time (s) 9.95 s Calculate the experimental value of the period of oscillation by simply dividing the time you measured by 10. Average Period, T avg (s) :__0.995 s__ 1. Using 0.100 kg as the mass, and the value of your experimental force constant, calculate the theoretical value of the period for your spring mass system. (5 points) 2. Calculate the % error between your experimental and calculated period. (5 points) 2
