got it. actually I think I was looking for T= (m/k)^(1/2) since the mass is the same for both springs and the springs r of equal length, the spring constant determines the periodic time therefore a stiffer spring will stop vibrating first. thanks 4 everyones help

lol me too thats so jokes, my lab data isn't adding up either lol my values for the force constant didn't fit the equation 1/ktotal=1/k1 + 1/k2 (for springs in a series, the second part in the lab) I've been doing this lab for DAYS... can anyone show me how to calculate the force constant...

same issue let me put this problem (for which I'm also searching for an answer to) in a different light: for 2 equal lengthed springs, stretched the same amount, with the same mass attached on the end, which one stops first: the stiffer or the looser spring? aka which one looses energy to the...
