Question

physics lab simple harmonic motion
What does the stiffness k of the spring have on the vibration period T?
What effect does the mass of the block m have on the vibration period T?
So our lab was basically hanging different masses on a spring and counting the vibrations. Just so you get an idea. physics lab simple harmonic motion

Explanation / Answer

Given,

Time period is given by = 2* pi * sqrt(m/k)

the time period is inversely proportional to the square root of the stiffness so, time peroid will increase if stiffness will decrease

the square root of the mass is directly proportional to the time period so, timeperiod will increase on increase of mass
