Take a spring of medium stiffness, about 20 cm in length. Fix the upper end of the springto a rigid support. On the lower end attach a scale pan of known mass so that the systemhangs vertically. Pull the pan 1-2 cm downwards and release. The pan will oscillate upand down. Measure the time of 20 oscillations with the help of a stop watch and calculatethe time period of oscillation of pan. Now place a middle size pebble on the pan, set it inoscillations and determine the time period of oscillation again. Calculate the mass of thepebble using the data obtained from your observations. |
