In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, an elastic pendulum [1] [2] (also called spring pendulum [3] [4] or swinging spring) is a physical system where a piece of mass is connected to a spring so that the resulting motion contains elements of both a simple pendulum and a one-dimensional spring-mass system. [2]
The oscillating U-tube is a technique to determine the density of liquids and gases based on an electronic measurement of the frequency of oscillation, from which the density value is calculated. This measuring principle is based on the Mass-Spring Model. The sample is filled into a container with oscillation capacity.
In the spring-mass system, oscillations occur because, at the static equilibrium displacement, the mass has kinetic energy which is converted into potential energy stored in the spring at the extremes of its path. The spring-mass system illustrates some common features of oscillation, namely the existence of an equilibrium and the presence of a ...
The effective mass of the spring in a spring-mass system when using a heavy spring (non-ideal) of uniform linear density is of the mass of the spring and is independent of the direction of the spring-mass system (i.e., horizontal, vertical, and oblique systems all have the same effective mass). This is because external acceleration does not ...
A mass m attached to a spring of spring constant k exhibits simple harmonic motion in closed space. The equation for describing the period: T = 2 π m k {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {m}{k}}}} shows the period of oscillation is independent of the amplitude, though in practice the amplitude should be small.
This discussion applies the following simplifications: the spring itself is taken as being weightless, and the spring is taken as being a perfect spring; the restoring force increases in a linear way as the spring is stretched out. That is, the restoring force is exactly proportional to the distance from the center of rotation.
Both liquid and fixed assets play vital roles in financial planning. Liquid assets, such as cash reserves, provide a safety net for unexpected expenses, emergencies, or short-term financial needs.
A Wilberforce pendulum can be designed by approximately equating the frequency of harmonic oscillations of the spring-mass oscillator f T, which is dependent on the spring constant k of the spring and the mass m of the system, and the frequency of the rotating oscillator f R, which is dependent on the moment of inertia I and the torsional ...
