In Hooke's law, F=-kx. Assume that a mass is hung from the end of an ideal massless spring, the spring stretches a distance of x. However, in real life the spring has mass and it is submerged in a "fluid" of air. Compared to an ideal spring, would the real spring have a slightly different...- helly_tang
