    LAB1: Spring Constant

    1 OBJECTIVE
    ˆ Measure the spring constant k using the static method.

    ˆ Determine how the oscillation period T depended on amplitude A.

    ˆ Indirectly determine k by analyzing T ’s dependence on mass m.

    2 THEORY
    2.1 Static Method
    2.2 Dynamic Method
    ˆ We hung a mass (m) on the spring,
    causing it to extend by ˆ We slowly lowered the mass by
    ∆y = y0 − y, where y0 is the length hand until it reached a specific
    before adding the mass and y is the height y, making the spring force
    length after. F greater than the weight P and
    creating oscillation.
    ˆ In the equilibrium position, the
    forces on the mass are its weight ˆ We measured the time for 10 cycles
    (P = mg) and the spring force to determine the period T .
    (F = −ky). Thus, mg = ky0 .
    ˆ We repeated the process for differ-
    ent masses and heights.

    ΣF⃗ext = m · ⃗a
    P − Fr = m · ẍ
    m · g − k(y0 + x) = m · ẍ

    3 PROCEDURE
    Part 1: Spring Constant
    1. We hung the spring with the weight holder.

    2. We measured the initial length L0 .

    3. We added masses, measured new lengths L, and calculated displacements.

    4. We recorded the force mg and displacement for each mass.

    5. We plotted force vs. displacement and determined the spring constant k from the
    slope.

    ℓ0 = 7.5 cm g = 9.81 m/s2

    0.05 9.8 - 7.5 = 2.30 0.49 3
    0.10 13.5 - 7.5 = 6.00 0.98
    0.20 21.0 - 7.5 = 13.5 1.96 2
    0.35 27.2 - 7.5 = 19.7 3.43
    0.30 30.0 - 7.5 = 22.5 2.94 1
    0.40 34.5 - 7.5 = 27.0 3.92 10−2 (m)
    0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4

    The graph is in the form f (x) = ax, where a (the slope) is the spring constant k. Therefore,
    we have:
    ∆(m · g) 3.92 − 0.49
    k= = = 13.88 (N · m−1 )
    ∆x 0.27 − 0.023
    Hence, the equation of the graph is:

    f (x) = kx
    f (x) = 13.88x

    Part 2: Period of Oscillations


    Dependence on Amplitude
    1. We derived the period T for a spring with finite mass.

    2. We attached a mass to the spring.

    3. We displaced the mass by various amplitudes and measured the time for 10 cycles.
    t 1
    4. We recorded the amplitude, time for 10 cycles, period T = , and frequency f = .

    The graph is in T 2 = am, where a = (the slope). Therefore, we have:

    k = 15.7 (N · m−1 )

    CONCLUSION
    ˆ We determined the spring constant k using static and dynamic methods.

    ˆ The static method involved measuring the spring’s elongation for different forces,
    yielding k from the force-displacement graph.

    ˆ The dynamic method measured the period of oscillation for different masses and
    analyzed the period squared vs. mass relationship.

    ˆ Both methods provided consistent results, validating theoretical predictions.

    ˆ The experiment was successful, with data aligning well with expected outcomes.
