Product Description
Spring Mass System
To determine the damping coefficient of a single-degree of freedom system.
The experimental set up consists of
- Spring Mass Test rig- with frame, Mass and Spring.
- Accelerometer.
- Signal Conditioner.
- Computer based data acquisition system
Purpose: To Estimate of Damping Ratio:
The logarithmic decrement is estimated from the expression
= (1/n) log (A1/An)
Damping ratio = / (2)

FAQs of Spring Mass System:
Q: How is the spring constant determined in this Spring Mass System?
A: The spring constant is defined by the metallic spring included and typically ranges from 0.5 to 2 N/m, depending on the model supplied. You can also measure it experimentally by applying known weights and measuring the extension.
Q: What types of experiments can this system be used for?
A: It is ideal for physics laboratory applications such as oscillation experiments, demonstrating simple harmonic motion, Hookes Law investigations, and studying dynamics with variable mass and spring setups.
Q: Where should the Spring Mass System be placed during use?
A: The system is designed for bench-top mounting. Its anti-slip wooden base ensures secure placement on any standard laboratory workbench, providing a safe and stable platform for experiments.
Q: When is it necessary to adjust the mass or replace the spring?
A: Adjusting the mass or changing the spring is useful for varying experimental conditions, such as different oscillation frequencies or demonstrating how mass and spring constant affect motion and period in practical lessons.
Q: What is the process for assembling and using the system?
A: Assembly is minimal; simply mount the base onto a flat surface, attach the desired spring and weight, and the unit is ready for immediate demonstrations. Detailed instructions are supplied by the manufacturer if needed.
Q: How does the anti-slip wooden base benefit laboratory work?
A: The anti-slip base minimizes the risk of movement or accidental displacement during experiments, ensuring safety and precision even during active student participation.
Q: What makes this Spring Mass System suitable for educational use?
A: Its robust materials, compliance with standard laboratory norms, easy adjustability, and clear demonstration potential make it ideal for schools, colleges, and laboratory practicals in India and beyond.
