Abstract
The study of vibration in uniform beams provides physics teachers with a platform by which a broad range of physics vibration-related topics can be explored without expensive and specialized equipment. This paper presents two laboratory exercises related to lateral beam vibrations. These exercises use beam theory coupled with free sound-analysis software (Raven Lite 2.0), and are appropriate for both high school and first-year college physics students. In this paper, the uniform beam is a slender tube with unsupported (or free) ends—such as a wind chime.
