Harmonic oscillations of spiral springs - Spring linked inparallel and series with Cobra 4

Principle

The spring constant D is determined for different experimental set-ups from the oscillation period and the suspended mass.

Tasks

1. Determination of the spring constant D for different springs.
2. Determination of the spring constant for springs linked in parallel.
3. Determination of the spring constant for springs linked in series.
