The Hooke’s law governing an ideal spring relates spring force with displacement as :
F=-kx --------------------------------------(i)
By Newton’s second law, F =ma --------------------------------(ii)
Combining with Newton’s second law,
?F=ma=-kx
so a = -kx/m -----------------------------(iii)
Now, comparing with SHM relation “ a = -?2x ”, we have : \
? - w2 x = - kx/m
w2 = k/m\
w = squreroot (k/m)
since w =2pie/ T
theregore 2pie/T = squreroot (k/m)
T = 2pie squreroot (m/k)
