Demo Title: Double Spring Damped Air Glider
Area of Study: Oscillations & Acoustics
Procedure:
- See 1M40.73.
- Attach the two springs to the air track cart and use the adapters to stretch them to a comfortable level. Make sure the flag on the cart is turned so that it not only provides some damping, but can also be "seen" by the sonic sensor.
