sa this experiment, you wll deternine the force constant k , accelbration of free fll, g, and the 0 of the spring provided. PART! p the spring using the two pieces of wood provided and attach a pointer to the clfective 2288s May fa) Clam free end of the spring making sure that the spring is vertical and the pointer is horizontal ‘as shown in the figure below. ‘Wooden pieces Retort stand with a. clamp ‘Metre rule Fig. exple. 3 (b) Read and record the initial pointer position, P,, (in metres) on a vertical metre rule. (c) Suspend @ mass of m = 0.200kg from the lower end of the spring. Read and record the new pointer position. P, (in metres). (d) Odtain tne value of the extension, e,, of tine spring. (e) Replace the 0.200kg mass with 0.600kg and record the new pointer position, P, (in metres) (f) Obtain the new extension, e,, of the spring. (s) Calculate the constant, k, of the spring from the expression: ;= 048 , where g = 9.81 ms? ee (h) Find the constant , 6°, from the expression 5=2.5(e, - @,) PARTI (a) Suspend a mass ,m, of 0.100kg from the spring as in part I ‘ : (b) Pull the mass vertically down wards through a small displacement and release it. (c) Measure the time, t, for 20 complete oscillations of the mass. Hence obtain the period of oscillation T (d) Repeat procedures (a) to (c) for values of m = 0.200, 0.300, 0.400, 0.500 and 0.600kg, (c) Tabulate your results including values of T’. () Plot a graph of T! against m. (g) Determine the slope, S, of the graph. (h) Calculate the value of g from the expression; g “2 ie (i) Read and record the intercept, C, on the T?- axis. a c (i) Calculate the effective mass, m,, of the spring from m, ==
