Start the experiment with some default values of initial displacement, initial velocity, mass and stiffness of the system. Pause the experiment after a few cycles.

Observation 1:

• Observe the time period and amplitude.
• Modify the values of initial displacement and initial velocities.
• Observe that the time period is independent of initial conditions

Observation 2:

• Modify the value of mass and observe the change in time period.
• Run the experiment for different values of mass and note the time period every time mass is changed
• Check the graph between mass and time period.
• Repeat the same with stiffness.
• Change the structures stiffness (i.e., change column size) and observe the effect on time period.
• Run the experiment for different values of stiffness and note the time period every time stiffness is changed.
• Check the graph between stiffness and time period.
• Again start the experiment this initial conditions.

Observation 3:

• Add damping to the system (i.e., 5%) and run the experiment .
• Observe the effect of damping on time period and amplitude.
• Run the experiment for different values of damping(etta).
• Check the graph between damping and time period.

Observation 4:

• Add damping to the system (i.e., 5%) and run the experiment.
• Run the experiment and stop after a few cycles.
• Note the values of displacement on consecutive troughs and check the value of damping by logarithmic decrement formula.

NOTE: There are various features available for the graphs such as zoom, etc. The function/feature of each icon above the graphs becomes visible upon hovering over the concerned icon.
