The Time P Required for a Spring-Mass System to Complete

question 73

Short Answer

The time P required for a spring-mass system to complete one full oscillation can be expressed in terms of the attached mass m and the spring constant of the spring k in the form P = km^bk^c, where k, b, and c are dimensionless constants. What must be the values of b and c? The dimensions of k are [M]/[T]².
