+## Lab #3 Measuring Natural Frequencies
+
+### What are natural frequencies
+
+In free vibration (i.e., no external forcing), structural components
+oscillate at specified frequencies or combinations of frequencies. Since
+these vibrations are unforced, the associated frequencies are referred
+to as natural frequencies; it's how the system vibrates if left to
+behave on its own. In contrast, driven linear systems vibrate at the
+driving frequency. An amplification of the response (called resonance)
+occurs when the driving frequency coincides with one of the natural
+frequencies. In short, the system is driven at a frequency at which it
+likes to vibrate. Large amplitude oscillations are the result. So it is
+important to know what the natural frequencies are *a priori* so you can
+avoid driving the system into resonance.
