Abstract In this lab report, physical, torsional and simple spring pendulums and their properties were examined. Three experimental setups were used: a mass hanging on a spring, a rod with attached masses oscillating vertically and a rod with masses, then a disk oscillating horizontally. Although experimental and theoretical values were close, experimental ones were more precise and accurate, as its errors had small values. The obtained results demonstrated that the spring constant k=19.84...
