Simple Harmonic Oscillations Objective
Measure the oscillations of a coil spring pendulum using an ultrasonic motion sensor

Summary
The oscillations of a coil spring pendulum are a classic example of simple harmonic oscillation. In this experiment, those oscillations are recorded by an ultrasonic motion sensor, which detects the distance to the weight suspended from the spring pendulum.

Experiment Procedure
• Record the harmonic oscillation of a coil spring pendulum as a function of time using an ultrasonic motion sensor.
• Determine the period of oscillation T for various combinations of spring constant k and mass m.
