Helical Spring II Aim: 1. To find the spring constant of the given Helical Spring using Oscillation method also to determine the mass of the given body. 2. To draw M-T2 graph for a Helical Spring and to determine spring constant from the graph. Apparatus: Helical spring Apparatus, weight hanger with slotted weight, unknown mass etc. Principle: (For Aim 1) M Time period of the oscillation of a spring is given by M 2 T =2 π √ K Spring Constant ) where M is the mass suspended, K=4 π ( T2 If t is the time period for the unknown mass m, M 2 Unknown mass = ( 2 )t T
(For Aim 2) M Time period of the oscillation of a spring is given by
2 M T =2 π √ K Spring Constant K=4 π ( 2 ) where M is the mass suspended, If t is the time period T for the unknown mass m,

Observations: (For Aim 1)
Sl Mass in the Helical Time for 20 Oscillations (s) Time T2 M Period T = g/s2 No Spring M gm 1 2 Mean 20 s2 T 2
1 2 3 4 5 6 Unknown mass(m) t= s t2= s2
M Mean = g/s2 = kg/s2 T2 Calculations: (For Aim 1)
2 M Spring Constant K=4 π ( ) = N/m = N/m T2
M 2 Unknown Mass = ( 2 )t = kg = kg T Observations: (For Aim 2) Sl Mass in the Helical Time for 20 Oscillations (s) Time T2 Period T = No Spring M gm 1 2 Mean 20 s2

Calculations: (For Aim 2)
M AB From graph = = g/s2 = g/s2 T 2 BC = kg/s2 2 M Spring Constant K=4 π ( 2 ) = N/m = N/m T Results: 1. Mass of the given body = kg 2. Spring Constant of the Helical Spring = N/m 3. Spring Constant of the Helical Spring (from graph) = N/m
