彈簧水平振和垂直振，週期會不會一樣？ 15-2 THE BLOCK-SPRING SYSTEM We begin by considering the dynamics of a block that is oscillating at the end of a massless spring, as in Fig. 15-4. We assume that the net force acting on the block is that exerted by the spring, which is given by Hooke’s law: where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position. When x is positive, Fsp is positive, the force is directed to the right. Thus, the force always tends to restore the block to its equilibrium position x = 0. Newton’s second law (F = ma) applied to the block is –kx = ma, which means The acceleration is dir
