Hi,
I hope this is in the correct section, please feel free to move it or advise me to move if it's in the incorrect section.
I work as an aerospace engineer and a sideline of what i do is to maintain the torque wrenches we use on the equipment. We have a set schedule for maintenance every...
Homework Statement
Ive worked out all of my values for my shm assignment. In the table of results i have found that my spring constant decreases with load applied.
Im stuggling to come with a good reason for this.
Number Mass (kg) Spring displacement (m) Spring constant (N/m)
1 0.05 0 n/a
2...
I mean if you pull on the spring and start when its at the bottom of its travel, wait for it to got to extent of of its travel the oppoisite way and come back to its bottom travel. Thats what we said was one oscialltion.
What I've worked out here is theoretical periodic time?
Im also asked to work out experimental periodic time.
Take the 100g mass. It took an average of 8.5 seconds to complete 20 oscillations.
One oscialltion is a complete up and down so as i undertsand it this is one period.
So is this just...
Thank you, that a massive help :smile:
So T = 2π x √m/k
So using table in the question
100g mass and 50.31N/m constant
T= 2π x √0.1/50.31
= 0.28 (Not sure what units this should be? Seconds?)
Have i done this correctly?
thanks
Homework Statement
A spring hanging from a lab stand has an equilibrium position of 66mm.
Weights are added in 50g increments from 100g upto 250g, record the spring displacement and work out the spring constant.
Part 2:
With each mass in turn pull them down 20mm from their equilibrium...
