Description
This Simple Harmonic Motion Unit, “MSHU”, allows many experiments using several pendulums and devices, such as different types of pendulums (simple, bifilar, trifilar and Kater’s pendulum) and springs.
Consists of a panel with a support that allows to hang different elements of study.
The study consists of letting freely swing different types of pendulums or a spring to check how different variables affect on their oscillation period. These variables to be studied are the mass hung from the pendulum or spring, and the oscillation length which can be easily modified with the tensors.
The Kater’s pendulum shows the relationship between simple harmonic motion and gravity, for prediction of gravity accurately.
The theory shows how to foretell the period of oscillation for a given pendulum or spring for comparison with actual results.
