The Relationship Between Oscillatory Period, Hanging Mass, and Spring Constant During SHM









By solving Newton's second law equation for simple harmonic motion, one finds the following relationship for the oscillatory period, T ~ (m/k)1/2 (where m is the hanging mass and k is the spring constant), in rough agreement with observations.
