Hooke's Lab

OSCILLATIONS

Materials:
metal rod
clamp
spring
rubberband
weights
timer
videor
calculations

Procedure:

the first thing we measured was the length of the spring without any weight on it. then we added weight and slightly pulled the spring to a certain distance and counted how many oscillations were in a certain amount of time. we choose to time all the oscillations for ten seconds and count the number there were in that time period. once we did multiple weights we calculated the displacement vs force and the period vs force.

Results:
the more weight that you put on the spring, the slower the oscillations became.
