Spring-Mass SHM Simulation

Spring-Mass SHM Simulation

This simulation demonstrates Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) in spring-mass systems, comparing a single mass system with a two-mass system. The time period differs between the two configurations due to different effective masses.

Single Mass System
Two Mass System
1.0 kg
50 N/m
50%

Single Mass System

Time Period (T): 0.89 s

Frequency (f): 1.13 Hz

Effective Mass: m

Two Mass System

Time Period (T): 0.63 s

Frequency (f): 1.59 Hz

Effective Mass: m/2

Time Period Formulas:

Single Mass: T = 2π√(m/k)

Two Masses: T = 2π√(m/2k)
