Simple Harmonic Motion and Spring Constant for Mechanics Physics Lab

This Simple Harmonic Motion and Spring Constant for Mechanics Physics Lab is designed for studying the principles of simple harmonic motion and determining the spring constant through both static and dynamic measurement methods. The apparatus combines a Jolly balance equipped with a precision reading system, including a pointer, reflective mirror, and vernier scale, with an integrated Hall switch sensor and electronic timer for accurate oscillation period measurements. The system provides students with a comprehensive understanding of spring behavior, Hooke’s Law, and oscillatory motion through practical experimentation.
