Calculate the Fg = mg. Since this is in equilibrium with the Spring Force, we can assume that the magnitude of the gravitational force is the value for the spring force.

Simple Harmonic Motion Often time in nature, when an object undergoes a small displacement from equilibrium position, it undergoes oscillatory motion about that equilibrium position; such behavior is called harmonic motion. Examples of harmonic motion include springs, pendula, and even circular motion. When no damping forces affect the oscillating object, the behavior is know as […]
