I. Abstract
This experiment investigates the vertical simple harmonic motion (SHM) of a mass-spring system to determine the spring constant kkk using advanced data analysis techniques. A mass is attached to a vertically aligned spring, displaced from equilibrium, and allowed to oscillate freely. The motion is recorded using a web camera, and the position vs. time data is extracted using ImageJ software.

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis is applied to the time-series data to identify the dominant frequency of the oscillation accurately. The period is calculated from this frequency, and Hooke’s Law is used in conjunction with the period to determine the spring constant k. By combining traditional experimental techniques with modern AIoTs tools for video and data analysis, this experiment provides a comprehensive approach to studying SHM while showcasing the integration of digital analysis methods in physics education. The results demonstrate the utility of FFT in analyzing oscillatory motion and offer insights into the dynamics of mass-spring systems.
