Set-up Instructions for M: SHM - 17

Equipment Locations
Item Location
Springs Set 9, Cabinet 2, Shelf 5
Rods and Clamps  
Masses of Instructor's Choosing  

Set-up Notes:

1. The colored spring sets have known spring constants, so these work best.

2. If a 1:2 ratio for spring constant is desired, use the red and green springs.

3. Due to the strength of the springs, use heavier masses = 500g or 1kg

4. Due to length of springs, use a bench clamp to attach a vertical rod to the lecture bench.  You can then mount the horizontal rod such that the masses will not hit the table top when oscillating
