Solving the Harmonic Oscillator Equation Morgan Root NCSU Department of Math Spring-Mass System Consider a mass attached to a wall by means of a spring. Define y=0 to be the equilibrium position of the block. y(t) will be a measure of the displacement from this equilibrium at a given time. Take y (0) y and dy (0) v . 0 dt 0 Basic Physical Laws Newton’s Second Law of motion states tells us that the acceleration of an object due to an applied force is in the direction of the force and inversely proportional to the mass being moved. This can be stated in the familiar form: F ma net In the one dimensional case this can be written as: && Fnet my Relevant Forces Hooke’s Law (k is FH −ky called Hooke’s constant) & Friction is a force that F −cy F opposes motion. We assume a friction proportional to velocity. Harmonic Oscillator Assuming there are no other forces acting on the system we have what is known as a Harmonic Oscillator or also known as the Spring-Mass- Dashpot.
