dx2/dt2 = - w2 x
Since a = dx2/dt2
hence
a = - w2 x Eq-1
k = spring constant of the spring
m = mass attached to the spring
when the mass is at distance "x" from the equilibrium position , spring force on the mass attached is given as
F = - k x
acceleration of the mass attached is given as
a = F/m
a = - k x/m
a = - (k/m) x Eq-2
comparing Eq-1 and Eq-2
w2 = k/m
w = sqrt(k/m)

Simple harmonic oscillation is a type of motion that obeys the equation dt where o is called the angular frequency of the oscillation. Assume that we have a spring-mass system with a spring constant k and mass m. Find the angular frequency of the oscillation of the mass about its equilibrium position.

Equations of Simple Harmonic Motion (basic) PLEASE! show work and only answer if you know how to do it. People keeps giving me the wrong answer. Analyzing Newton's 2^nd Law for a mass spring system, we found a_x = -k/m X. Comparing this to the x-component of uniform circular motion, we found as a possible solution for the above equation: x = Acos(omega t) v_x = - omega Asin(omega t) a_x = - omega^2 Acos(omega t) with omega = square...
THE SPRING FORCE AND SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION To measure and study various characteristics of a mass/spring system, including the spring constant and the dependence of the oscillation frequency on the amplitude of oscillation. i) You will measure the spring constant using two different methods: static and dynamic. ii) You will investigate the dependence of frequency on the amplitude of oscillations. 1. Write the equation that relates the applied force (not the spring force) on a spring to the displacement from...

Simple Hanging Harmonic Oscillator Developed by K Roos In this set of exercises the student builds a computational model of a hanging mass-spring system that is constrained to move in 1D, using the simple Euler and the Euler-Cromer numerical schemes. The student is guided to discover, by using the model to produce graphs of the position, velocity and energy of the mass as a function of time, that the Euler algorithm does not conserve energy, and that for this simple...
