Procedure1. 30g if plasticine are xed at one end of a

hacksaw steel blade and the other end iscompleted to the leg of table with a G-clamp

.  !he steel blade with the 30g plasticine ismade to "ibrate hori#ontall$

3.  !he time taken to complete 10 oscillations istaken with a stopwatch and the period is

calculated%.  !he experiment is repeated using %0g& '0g&

(0g and )0g masses of plasticine.
