Your lab instructor has asked you to measure a spring constant using a dynamic method—letting it oscillate—rather than a static method of stretching it. You and your lab partner suspend the spring from a hook, hang different masses, m, on the lower end, and start them oscillating. One of you uses a meter stick to measure the amplitude, A, and the other uses a stopwatch to time 10 oscillations, t. Your data are as follows:Mass, m(g) Amplitude, A(cm) Time, T(s) 100 6.5 7.8150 5.5 9.8200 6.0 10.9250 3.5 12.4Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the spring constant.

Answer :

Answer:

  k = 6,547 N / m

Explanation:

This laboratory experiment is a simple harmonic motion experiment, where the angular velocity of the oscillation is

         w = √ (k / m)

angular velocity and rel period are  related

         w = 2π / T

substitution

         T = 2π √(m / K)

in Experimental measurements give us the following data

  m (g)     A (cm)    t (s)   T (s)

  100        6.5         7.8    0.78

  150        5.5          9.8   0.98

   200      6.0        10.9    1.09

   250       3.5        12.4    1.24

we look for the period that is the time it takes to give a series of oscillations, the results are in the last column

        T = t / 10

To find the spring constant we linearize the equation

        T² = (4π²/K)    m

therefore we see that if we make a graph of T² against the mass, we obtain a line, whose slope is

         m ’= 4π² / k

where m’ is the slope

           k = 4π² / m'

the equation of the line of the attached graph is

       T² = 0.00603 m + 0.0183

therefore the slope

       m ’= 0.00603  s²/g

    we calculate

         k = 4 π² / 0.00603

          k = 6547 g / s²

we reduce the mass to the SI system

         k = 6547 g / s² (1kg / 1000 g)

         k = 6,547 kg / s² =

         k = 6,547 N / m

let's reduce the uniqueness

         [N / m] = [(kg m / s²) m] = [kg / s²]

The spring-mass system forms a linear graph between the time period and mass. And the value of spring-constant from the given data is 6.46 N/m.

Given data:

Mass suspended by spring is, [tex]m=100 \;\rm g =0.1 \;\rm kg[/tex].

Number of oscillations is, [tex]n =10\;\rm oscillations[/tex].

Time period of oscillation is, [tex]T=7.8 \;\rm s[/tex].

The expression for the angular frequency of spring-mass system is,

[tex]\omega =\drac \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }[/tex]  ......................................................(1)

Here, k is the spring constant.

Angular frequency is also expressed as,

[tex]\omega = 2 \pi f[/tex] .........................................................(2)

here, f is the linear frequency of spring-mass system.

And linear frequency is,

[tex]f=\dfrac{n}{T}\\f=\dfrac{10}{7.81}\\f=1.28 \;\rm cycles/sec[/tex]

Then substitute equation (2) in equation (1) as,

[tex]2 \pi f=\drac \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m} }\\2 \pi \times 1.28=\drac \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{0.1} }\\(2 \pi \times 1.28)^{2}= \dfrac{k}{0.1}\\k = 6.46 \;\rm N/m[/tex]

Thus, the value of spring constant is 6.46 N/m. And the suitable graph for the spring-mass system is given below.
