This device has a slight coupling between two degrees of freedom. When the mass is moving down during its oscillation, the spring unwinds slightly, giving the mass a slight twist. When the mass is moving up during its oscillation, the spring winds up tighter, giving the mass a slight twist in the other direction. With each oscillation, the translational mode is being converted into the rotational mode. The pasco force sensor keeps track of the force over time.
