Spring Mass System SINGLE and MULTI C

This document provides instructions for determining the single and multi degree of freedom of a spring-mass system. It describes the required apparatus of a spring, trunnion, beam, extra mass, and steel rule. It outlines the procedures of fixing the spring and adding weight to determine spring stiffness and natural frequency. Graphs of load vs deflection, theoretical natural frequency, and experimental natural frequency will be created and measurements will be tabulated. The natural frequency of the spring-mass system is determined.

SINGLE AND MULTI DEGREE OF FREEDOM

AIM:

To determine single and multi degree of freedom using spring – mass system

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

 Spring
 Trunnion
 Beam
 Extra Mass
 Steel Rule.

FORMULAE USED:

Spring stiffness, K = load/deflection

= W/ δ

= mg/ δ N/m in (part I)

m- Mass added to spring in kg

Equivalent mass, Meq =M (L2/L1) kg,

M- mass of the exciter assembly in kg

Time period, (Theoretical) Tthe =2Π Meq/K sec.

Experimental time period, Texp = t/N sec.

L1- Distance between pivot and spring, m

L2- Distance between pivot and exciter assembly, m

Theoretical natural frequency, fn(the) =1/Tthe Hz ,

Experimental natural frequency, fn(exp) =1/Texp

Experimental time period, Texp = t/N sec.

N number of oscillation =

PROCEDURE

Determination of spring stiffness

1. Fix the top bracket at the side of the scale and Insert one end of the spring on the
hook.
2. At the bottom of the spring fix the other plat form
3. Note down the reading corresponding to the plat form
4. Add the weight and observe the change in deflection
5. With this determine spring stiffness

Determination of natural frequency

1. Add the weight and make the spring to oscillate for 10 times
2. Note the corresponding time taken for 10 oscillations and calculate time period
3. From the time period calculate experimental natural frequency
