Popis: An investigation of how coconut palm tree withstands gale force winds has been performed. When observed carefully, the motion of the stalks and leaves affected the wind resistance. The stalks and leaves moved at random when intentioned wind blows. However, there is still no report on the physical modelling. This paper proposes a simple mathematical model to analyze the phenomenon. A simple tool was also designed to retrieve data usingVideo Tracker.The experiments were conducted on several types of springs. The model showed that the theoretical prediction accurately explained the phenomenon.
