Abstract

The aim of this investigation is to determine the relationship between the period of oscillation of an oscillating cantilever and the weight of the said cantilever. Experimentally, this will be accomplished by measuring the period of oscillation of a chosen cantilever as added masses are incremented. The frequency of the cantilever will then be determined through its period of oscillation.
