3/13

Objective:  SWBAT calculate the period of a simple harmonic oscillator.


Warm Up:  A block of mass m if allowed to hang from a spring in static equilibrium.  It stretches the spring a distance L.  The block and spring are then set into oscillation.  Is the period of this system less than, equal to or greater than the period of a simple pendulum having a length L and a bob mass m?
