1 Abstract
The primary goal of the experiment was to familiarize oneself with the dynamic behavior of a
system consisting of springs configured in single, parallel, and series configurations. The
goal is to compute these three systems' experimental stiffness and natural frequency, then
compare the results to theoretical values to get the intended outcomes. Measuring a
structure's displacement in response to an applied force allowed for the determination of its
stiffness. Similar to how displacement was measured and force in relation to mass was
progressively raised, natural frequency was determined by timing the duration of cycles. For
the three systems, graphs showing a linear trend with tiny errors were drawn between force-
displacement and force-time period. The measurement's inaccuracy was the cause of these
mistakes.
2 Introduction
The mass-spring system comprises a mass connected to a fixed point through a spring. When
a mass is hung from the lower end of the spring and the spring is stretched or compressed and
then released, the mass undergoes oscillations in an up-and-down motion. The subsequent
force oscillation exhibits a simple harmonic nature, characterized by oscillatory motion
following a sinusoidal function. The interaction between the inertia of the mass and the
restoring force of the spring results in harmonic motion, highlighting the significance of the
mass-spring system in the exploration of vibrations and oscillations. Understanding the
dynamics of mass-spring systems is essential for gaining insights into the behavior of
vibrating structures, wave propagation, and the broader realm of classical mechanics.
The experiment has been divided into three sections to understand the dynamics of mass
spring system i.e.: Single Spring arrangement, parallel spring arrangement and series springs
arrangement. The following figure illustrates these three systems.
