An Investigation into the Oscillation of a Spring Introduction When you have a spring suspended in mid air with a weight on it, unless you supply it with energy or gravitational potential energy it will stay still. However when supplied with energy, whether its elastic potential energy or gravitational energy it will oscillate back and forth from the point of rest. With this in mind and also keeping in mind the below equations and rules we are looking to address the matter of the speed of the oscillation of the spring under different weights. T=2*pi* mass/k Where K is a constant that occurs in all springs but changes with each spring to show the relationship between mass and time. Force=mass*acceleration Therefore a smaller mass would equal a larger acceleration. Hookes law Stress=modulus*strain Where stress is the force applied per unit area and strain is relative to any change taking place when stress is applied. And modulus is a constant...
