Springs and Oscillators Concept

Demonstrations in Springs and Oscillators

Bench clamp stand with horizontal rod supporting two flat spring strips hanging from hooks, each with a brass cylindrical mass attached. Additional masses sit on the green bench surface.

Mass on a Spring

Demonstrates Hooke's Law and simple harmonic motion. Hang different masses from springs to show the linear force-displacement relationship and that the period of oscillation depends on mass:.
