Below is a lab report I wrote up on how to solidify nitrogen. Very easy process that demonstrates a lot of thermodynamics.

Lab Report: Damped Harmonic Oscillator
Below is attached a lab report I recently submitted for my Classical Mechanics lab detailing how fluids affect the motion of oscillators. A spring-mass system was subjected to air, water, and a water-shampoo mixture, to see if the oscillations were affected, and if so, to find the damping ratio.

Thermal Radiation Lab Report
Below is embedded a lab report I just submitted last night for a grade. It was an easy lab to do, yet I had trouble trying to figure out what the results meant. Take a look for yourself. You may have to consult the second source to fully understand the setup. The setup is quite simple though so that should not be a hurdle to understanding what is going on in the experiment.
I may be overthinking this one, but I find it odd that the white side of the cube is warmer than the black side.

My Work: Thermal Expansion of Metals Lab
Hey everyone, just a quick post for now. I worked over the weekend on a lab for thermodynamics on a lab where I measured the thermal expansion of three metals (copper, aluminum, and steel) and compared the measured values to the experimental values. It is actually very elementary stuff equation-wise, but interesting never-the-less. It is also interesting to point out this stuff is around us all the time. You ever see those "cracks" in the bridge? Yea, cement expands and contracts.

Timeline: 20 September 2010
Morning
Finishing touches to the Thermodynamics lab number 2 were completed in the morning. Mostly analyzing the data followed by a terse conclusion. The lab can be viewed here: Lab 02 (.pdf)
In the first class of the day, Classical Mechanics, a homework set was due involving projectile motion and drag forces. I have noticed that most of the problems are not plug and chug, in fact I have not come across a problem that could be solved as such yet. Most problems need to be solved by deriving theorems and formulas from first principles. This gets tough sometimes, but I get the answer right most of the time.
Afternoon
Turned in a lab and some homework. All classes went as schedule. The first of the Planetarium Techniques mini-shows have started, I will be giving mine on Friday. It will be quite easy as long as I find my stars in the dome beforehand so that I know where to look. One of the stars I will be focusing on is in Perseus, so I do not think that one will be a problem.
Evening
Nap after work, then homework until 1 AM.
