Cool linear circuit experiment from MAE171a

Check out the following linear circuit experiment and the accompanying lecture from MAE171a "Mechanical Engineering Laboratory I" (prepared by Professor Raymond de Callafon)

You will really need to master all the material from MAE140 to perform the experiment successfully!
