Principle
The spring constant D is determined for different experimental set-ups from the oscillation period and the suspended mass.
Tasks
- Determination of the spring constant D for different springs.
- Determination of the spring constant for springs linked in parallel.
- Determination of the spring constant for springs linked in series.
Benefits
- Large and sturdy set-up suitable for demonstration and lab courses as well
- Data logging reveals instantaneous results during measurement
