Experiment 12: Simple Harmonic Motion
One example of a harmonic oscillator is a spring that obeys Hooke’s Law (F = −kx). The period of an ideal, massless spring is related to the spring constant, k (or spring stiffness), and the mass of the object, m, that it moves: T = 2π m k The other harmonic oscillator modeled in this experi-ment is the ideal simple pendulum, whose period is
