Spring mass subtly shifts oscillation rhythms in mechanical systems
14 days ago
0
Why can't the spring's entire mass be simply added to the suspended mass to determine the oscillation frequency in a mass-spring system?
Because different parts of the spring move at different velocities, so only an effective portion of the spring's mass contributes to the kinetic energy.
Because the spring's mass does not contribute to the system's kinetic energy at all.
Because the spring's mass is always negligible compared to the suspended mass.

Mass-Spring System
The subtle role of spring mass reshapes oscillation frequencies in real-world systems
25 Jan 2026
0
Why is the effective mass of the spring introduced in analyzing a real mass-spring system?
Because the spring's mass contributes to the system's kinetic energy unevenly, affecting oscillation frequency
Because the spring's mass is always negligible and does not affect the system
Because the spring's mass adds linearly to the suspended mass without any adjustment
