Simple Harmonic Motion Lab
Introduction:
The concept of simple harmonic motion has been unintentionally applied to a few of the
previous experiments performed. Simple harmonic motion is defined as the motion in which the
restoring force is proportional to the distance of an object from its equilibrium position. When
the spring uses its restoring force to create an oscillating motion, that motion is considered the
simple harmonic motion. In this experiment, we will calculate the angular velocity by measuring
the period of the oscillating motion previously mentioned. After calculating the angular velocity,
it then should be graphed against the increasing masses. We will evaluate the spring constant of
the device as a function of period and mass. Hooke’s law will be utilized to determine the spring
constant; referring to the equation, Fs = -kx.
Procedure:
Finding the “known” mass
1.
Plug the dongle into the computer and make sure the iOLab device is turned on
2.
Attach the screw to the iOLab device with the y-axis pointing downwards
3.
Press record
4.
Let the device sit for a few seconds and then lift the device by the screw
Finding the period and frequency
1.
Attach the force screw to the iOLab device and attach the long spring to the force screw
and the paperclip to the long spring
2.
Using a screw and the long spring, hang the device on a textbook and allow the device to
oscillate
3.
Stop recording after there is a noticeable difference between the peaks
4.
Measure the time between the first 5 peaks and divide it by 4 to find the period
5.
Use the period to determine the angular frequency
6.
Using the fast fourier transform function, find the peak frequency. Use this to calculate
the angular frequency and compare this to the value obtained by using the period
7.
Attach an object to the iOLab device to increase its mass
8.
Determine the new mass of the device
9.
Repeat steps 2-6 to calculate the new mass of the device
10. Add a second object to the device to increase its mass further
11. Determine the new mass of the device
12. Repeat steps 2-6 to calculate the new mass of the device
