In this laboratory course on Mechanics you will be performing various experiments related to basic physics concepts you are learning in the theory course on Mechanics. We have included some experiments on determination of acceleration due to gravity and certain material properties like elastic constants of a wire, spring constant of a spring-mass system.
The basic purpose of this laboratory course is to inculcate the art of setting up the apparatus, taking measurements, making simple calculations and analysing the results. Moreover, you will appreciate that a lot of good physics can be understood with simple experiments and activities.
