5.2 Set-up for coupled pendulum with sen-
sors
•
Set up the pendulum stand as described in
4.3.
•
Attach a force sensor to the cross bar with
the knurled screw.
•
Stretch a coupling spring between the pen-
dulum rod and the force sensor.
•
Clamp the bearing rod into the double clamp
in such a way that the coupling springs and
pendulum rod move in roughly the same
plane as the hook of the force sensor.
•
Set up the second force sensor in the same
way.
•
Couple the two pendulum rods together with
the tension spring.
•
Connect the force sensors to the inputs for
channels A and B of the MEC amplifier
board.
•
Connect the outputs to an oscilloscope and
start the experiment.

6. Disposal
•
Packaging and compo-
nents should be dis-
posed of, where neces-
sary, at local recycling
centres.
