Spring-Mass Oscillator Period Calculator (T=2π√(m/k))

Favorite

Compute the simple harmonic period via T = 2π√(m/k): enter mass and stiffness to get period, frequency and angular frequency.

Key points

Spring-Mass Oscillator Period Calculator (T=2π√(m/k)): Compute the simple harmonic period via T = 2π√(m/k): enter mass and stiffness to get period, frequency and angular frequency. Formula: T = 2π·√(m/k). Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. T = 2π√(m/k): the period depends only on mass and stiffness, not on amplitude (ideal small-amplitude model). Frequency f = 1/T (Hz), angular frequency ω = 2πf = √(k/m); larger ω means faster oscillation.

Inputs

T = 2π·√(m/k)

Calculation model (updates with parameters)

Period T0.628s
Frequency f1.59Hz
Angular frequency ω10rad/s

Engineering notes

  • T = 2π√(m/k): the period depends only on mass and stiffness, not on amplitude (ideal small-amplitude model).
  • Frequency f = 1/T (Hz), angular frequency ω = 2πf = √(k/m); larger ω means faster oscillation.
  • Engineering uses: vibration isolation, mechanical resonance, sensor natural-frequency design; in practice account for spring mass and damping.
