APPARATUS
air track 201A
three springs -- two stiff, one loose 202-14-B
two gliders of equal mass 202-14-C3
pasco driver and function generator 202-17-A3
 
DESCRIPTION
Two gliders are connected to each other, to a fixed end, and to the driver by springs.  The driving frequency can be varied to show the normal modes of oscillation.
