Technical data

Oscillations of a leaf spring

Item No. P1002900

Principle

In the previous experiments, the students determined the oscillation period of a spring and of a thread pendulum, and its dependence on the mass. They also determined the spring constant and pendulum length respectively.

In this experiment they should establish the dependence of the oscillation period on the mass and length of a leaf spring pendulum.

Graphs generated from the results should be investigated, and the analogy to a thread pendulum considered.
