MARIME BLESSING ${ }^{2}$ PHYSICS 4.

J-0.e

It is recommended that you spend about 60 minutes on this question.
1 In this experiment you will be required to investigate the relationship between the

commillee. period of oscillation (T) of a spring system and mass ( $M$ ) loaded on it.

Committree.
(a) Suspend $M$ on the spring as shown in Fig. 1.1 where $M=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}$.

Fig. 1.1

The distance between the top ends of the springs is maintained at 0.1 m throughout the experiment.
(b) (i) Set $M$ into vertical oscillations of small amplitude.
(ii) Make measurements to determine T for this mass $M$.
(iii) Repeat the measurements of T (up to six readings) for various values of $M$ up to 0.6 kg .
(iv) Estimate the uncertainty in the smallest value of T and state one way in which this uncertainty may be reduced.
(c) Theory suggests that for any spring system
\[
\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{K}},
\]
where $K$ is the combined spring constant.
(i) Plot a graph of $\mathrm{T}^{2}(y$-ans s ) against $M(x$-axis).
