Fig. 1.1 The distance between the bottom of the split cork and the top of the upper string loop is x. Adjust the apparatus until x is approximately 15 cm. Measure and record x. x = ………......................................... Move the bottom mass a short distance to the left and release it. The masses will oscillate with a period T. Determine and record T. T = ………........................................ [2] stand boss clamp split cork slotted masses bench x
