To study simple harmonic underdamped oscillations and to calculate (i) time period T of oscillation,(ii) angular frequency(iii) relaxation time t and (iv) the quality factor Q of the oscillations.
Apparatus Required : A long (nearly 1.5 meter) wooden bar like meter scale, 2 to 3 meter long suspension wiire, two dampers (thin semicircular aluminium plate of nearly 0.10 m radius) two 0.10 kg weights and a stopwatch digital
