Lab 4: Mechanical Oscillations Data Calibration Resting Length (m) = 0.45 Hanging Mass (kg) = 0.021 K Value Full (N/m) = 0.20 K Value Half (N/m) = 0.42 Experiment 1 Calculated k (N/m) = 0.42 Measured m of Pennies (kg) = 0.021 Calculated/Predicted Period = 1.4 Measured Period Attempt 1 6.9 1.2 Measured Period Attempt 2 7.0 1.4 Measured Period Attempt 3 7.2 1.2 Measured Period Average 7.03 1.27 Experiment 2 Less Mass Calculated k (N/m) = 0.41 Measured m of Pennies (kg) = 0.01 Calculated/Predicted Period = 0.98 Measured Period Attempt 1 7.1 1.4 Measured Period Attempt 2 7.3 1.5 Measured Period Attempt 3 7.3 1.5 Measured Period Average 7.23 1.47
Data Analysis 1. The system changes with the changing of weight. The more pennies added, the more the mass increased. When the mass was being increased. There was an observation of quicker periods but with no effect on k value. 2. The effect observed when attaching two springs makes the k value smaller as well as having a longer period. 3. If you attach two springs to the mass so the springs extend together, the effects observed would be a larger k value with a shorter period. 4. For the period to double, the mass would need to be quadrupled.
