WILL give medal to the best response.

When a 0.870kg mass oscillates on an ideal spring, the frequency is 1.33Hz?

What will the frequency be if 0.300kg are added to the original mass? Try to solve this problem without finding the force constant of the spring.

Oops, sorry for the strange question mark at the end of "When a 0.870kg mass oscillates on an ideal spring, the frequency is 1.33Hz."

anonymous · Answer

Frequency inversely proportional to the sqrt of the mass

freq will be sqrt(.870/1.170) times original

Where did you get the 1.170 from?

And when you say times "original," do you mean original mass?

Sorry for so many questions, it's just that my professor just barely covered this.

Lol. I see what you did.

Thank you @douglaswinslowcooper !
