To try in the lab
-
Theory lab: what is the function
\(x(t)\)
if there is a frictional force, proportional to velocity,
\(-bv\)
, exerted on the spring mass system?
-
Propose an experiment to test whether the period of the motion of pendulum depends on the amplitude of the motion.
-
Propose an experiment to test whether a physical pendulum is well-described by simple harmonic motion.
Propose an experiment which measures the gravitational constant (
\(G\)
) using a torsion pendulum.
