8111 Apparatus to study harmonic oscillations

The study of the oscillatory motion of a mass hanging by a spring allows students to be introduced to the motion features of an harmonic oscillator and to get acquainted with one of the most powerful models for the physical interpretation of a wide range of phenomena.

Topics

• Hooke law
• Armonic motion
• Mass-spring system
• Simple pendulum
• Physical pendulum
• Torsion pendulum
