PSL diagrams.
Use the diagrams shown on the left to answer questions about a clamp combination vibrated on an inertial balance.

This clamp combination's vibrations should be counted over what time interval? (HINT: do NOT give me the duration)?

How many vibrations occurred during that time interval?

What was this clamp combination's frequency?

What was the period of this clamp combination's motion?

General Graph Questions.
