M80: Simple Harmonic Motion Demonstrator

 

Purpose: To provide examples of SHM as aids to the instructor in discussing this topic.

Description:

 

The apparatus consists of a simple pendulum, a torsion pendulum, and a weight on a coil spring to demonstrate transfer of potential to kinetic energy. Use to illustrate amplitude, phase, frequency, etc. for the various types of SHM.

Equipment List: Storage Location: CHEMP 130A

 

Pendulum clamp with long and short simple pendula F5.0
  Rod clamp with helical spring with mass and a torsional pendulum F5.0
