Module 7—Oscillatory Motion

Lesson 3 Lab: Investigating Mechanical Resonance

 

To see mechanical resonance in action, complete “7-5 QuickLab: Investigating Mechanical Resonance” on page 384 of your textbook. If possible, obtain the materials from your teacher and perform the experiment with a classmate at school. If you are doing this lab at home, you can tie the string between two chairs and use unopened 200-g cans of food (e.g., flakes of tuna) in plastic bags for masses.
