Investigating Oscillatory Motion: Elastic Pendulum Analysis via Piezoelectric Sensor and Microlab Interface

In this study, we conducted experimental analysis on the motion of a spring-mass system employing a piezoelectric sensor with a MicroLab ExAO interface. This interface allows to acquire data in order to convert them into an electrical signal. This experimental method makes it possible to measure the frequency and amplitude of the movement of the spring linked to a mass in response to an external force. To do this, the piezoelectric sensor is affixed to the spring and linked to the MicroLab interface, subsequently configured to capture and record the measurement data. The data can then be analyzed to determine the characteristics of the spring’s motion, such as its period, amplitude, and resonant frequency. This experimental investigation produces highly satisfactory outcomes, primarily utilized in scientific research and physics education for their precise analysis of spring motion.
