- Some doubts about the methods of determining the elastic constant of a spring
- Relevant Equations
- \omega = \sqrt (k/m)
Good afternoon,I am preparing a laboratory report on the study of the oscillations of a spring and the following questions have arisen:The script asks us to represent the mass against the squared period, in this case, the slope will correspond to the spring constant divided by 4Π^2 and the ordinate at the origin with the threshold mass or effective mass of the spring. However, they also ask me to represent the angular frequency squared against the inverse of the mass, and in this case the result I obyain is strange, what does the ordinate in the origin means in this case??, what does the slope mean??
I thought the slope meant the spring constant, if we do it like that we don't take the effective mass into the account...
I will be grateful if I find this doubt.
Also, they ask me which method is more precise, the stationary or the dynamic, what do they think?
