Article No: P2132167
A mass, considered as of point form, suspended on a thread and subjected to the force of gravity, is deflected from its position of rest. The period of the oscillation thus produced is measured as a function of the thread length and the angle of deflection. Benefits Quick and easy set-up Automatically measure the oscillation period using the light barrier Tasks For small deflections, the oscillation period is determined as a function of the cord length. The acceleration due to gravity is determined. The oscillation period is determined as a function of the deflection. Learning objectives Duration of oscillation Period Amplitude Harmonic oscillation
