Question

write the expression for the frequency of a mass m on a spring moving vertically. suppose that k is the spring constant. express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables k , m , g .

Answer 1

ω = (k / m)^1/2 ω is proportional to the spring constant and inversely proportional to the mass (square root of these quantities)

ω = 2 π f

f = 1 / 2 π (k / m)^1/2 expression for frequency of mass m
