Simple Harmonic Motion Calculator (Spring And Pendulum)
Simple Harmonic Motion Calculator (Spring And Pendulum): a planned Super Calculator tool. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
Simple Harmonic Motion Calculator (Spring And Pendulum) is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering physics: waves and oscillations.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: mass, spring constant, pendulum length, amplitude, damping coefficient and gravitational acceleration.
Outputs: period, frequency, angular frequency, maximum velocity and acceleration, energy, damping ratio and amplitude decay.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Mass on a spring: omega = sqrt(k/m), T = 2 pi sqrt(m/k). Simple pendulum: T = 2 pi sqrt(L/g), independent of mass and valid only for small amplitudes, with the exact period rising by about 1% at 23 degrees. Damped systems decay as e^(-bt/2m).
