upper end with a mass hanger attached to its lower end. A pointer fixed at the
lower end of the spring moves over a vertical scale fixed.
 A suitable load M (eg; 200 g ) is added to the mass hanger and the reading on the
scale at which the pointer comes to rest is noted. This is the equilibrium position.
 The mass in the hanger is pulled downward and released so that the spring
oscillates vertically on either side of the equilibrium position.
 When the pointer crosses the equilibrium position a stop clock is started and the
time taken for 20 vertical oscillations is noted. Then the period of oscillation T is RESULT:

PROCEDURE :
 Set up the sonometer on the table and clean the groove on the pulley to ensure
minimum friction
 Stretch the wire by placing suitable mass in the hanger. Keep a small paper rider
over the wire, between the two bridges.
 Set the tuning fork into vibrations by striking it against the rubber pad and place it
over the sonometer by its stem.

RESULT
 For a given tension, the resonant length of a given stretched string varies as
1
reciprocal of the frequency (i.e.), 𝑛 ∝
𝑙
 The product 𝑛 𝑙 is a constant and found to be ; 𝒏 𝒍 = 𝟓𝟑. 𝟎𝟗 𝑯𝒛 𝒎
