PASCO Bridge Vibrations Experiment

Purpose: In this experiment designed for use with PASCO Capstone software, students place 5 N Load Cells at different positions on the bridge to measure bridge oscillations and compare the driving force to the resulting acceleration. The bridge is struck by hand, and allowed to freely oscillate. Educational Topics: Resonance in complex systems Driven vs. free vibrations What's Included: 1× Large Structures Set (ME-7003) 1× PASPORT Load Cell Amplifier (PS-2198) 1× 100 N Load Cell (PS-2200) 5× 5 N Load Cell (PS-2201) 1× Wave Driver (WA-9855) 1× Banana Plug Cord-Red (5 Pack) (SE-9750) 1× Rubber Cord for IDS System (30 meters) (ME-8986) 4× Large Slotted Mass Set (short hanger) (ME-7589) 2× Short Mass Hanger (ME-7590) 18× Replacement Mass Set, 20 g (ME-8983)
