- This unit is designed to determine the time period of spiral spring and its frequency.
- Spiral spring is a type of spring which is formed by a metallic strip wound around a rod at same point.
- The apparatus consists of a shaft on which the spiral spring is attached.
- A metallic rod, containing masses at its edges, is used to deflect the shaft.
- The deflection can be measured through a protector and the extent to which the spring was deflected initially can also be found.
- Specification
- Investigation of vibrations on a spiral spring-rotating
- mass system
- Axis mounted on ball bearings
