    Calculating Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion: Mass-Spring System

    I have attempted a bit more to this and I believe at equilibrium the total energy of the system is split up into three parts: Kinetic Energy is 1/2 m v_max_^2 + Elastic Potential Energy which is 1/2 k Delta L^2 + mgh This is the answer if I sub in Omega and such and cancel masses I end up...

    Calculating Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion: Mass-Spring System

    Homework Statement A mass "m" is attached to the free end of a light vertical spring (unstretched length L) of spring contant "k" and suspended from a ceiling. The spring streches by Delta L under the load and comes to equilibrium at a height "h" above the ground level (y=0). The mass is...
