MASS ON A SPRING
APPARATUS
big ringstand 201A
big spring 202-17-A5
1 kg weight hanger 202-04-E
several additional 1 kg masses 202-04-E
meter stick 101-05-F
stopwatch 101-05-D4

DESCRIPTION
Use this set-up to show Hooke's law, simple harmonic motion, and how period varies with mass.

NOTES

        Use a spring-mass combination whose pendulum mode doesn't have the same period as the vibrational mode.

        Clamp meter stick to ringstand.
