Abstract
The article introduces a low-cost Arduino sensor into the Young’s modulus determination laboratory for physics university students. A stainless steel ruler is used as a cantilever beam. Its free end attached a mass is slightly bent and released to make it oscillate as a simple harmonic motion. The Arduino sensor detects the moving mass’s frequency at different loaded forces. This technique shows an acceptable value of Young’s modulus for the used ruler.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
