• ID Code: G2-02
  • Purpose: Demonstrate and graph driven and damped harmonic motion.
  • Description: Variable speed motor can be run below, at, or above the resonant frequency of a mass hanging on the spring. Two masses are provided. Inserting a felt-tipped pen into the holder and starting the paper rolling allows you to graph the motion of the oscillating mass.

    Note that this has been largely replaced by G2-09.
