Explore the concept of resonance through Barton’s pendulums and observe the impact of natural frequency matching with driving force frequency. Learn about bridge resonance incidents like the Tacoma Narrows bridge disaster and the Millennium Bridge in London. Discover resonance in everyday scenarios like helicopter tests, vibrating plates, and potential glass-breaking through singing.

Bartons pendulums • Observe the Barton’s pendulums • Write down two observations.
Resonance occurs when the frequency of the driving force matches the natural frequency of the oscillating body. • When this occurs a large amplitude vibration is observed.
Bridge resonance • Tacoma Narrows bridge disaster
The “Millenium Bridge”, a foot bridge in London oscillated alarmingly when first opened. • This is illustrated in the video clip • video • The bridge had to be closed and modified to eliminate these oscillations
Resonance of a helicopter • Chinook ground test
Rice on a vibrating plate • Note the plate has many resonant frequencies, you will notice the amplitude increase at each of these different modes of vibration.
Can you break a glass by singing? Breaking glass?
