Abstract

Springs are used in simple demonstrations for the students of Physics classes to illustrate the Hooke’s Law and harmonic oscillations. The spring is usually considered as a light object that does not possess a mass. What happens if the spring is heavy, that is, its mass is not negligible? This paper aims to discuss this problem as plainly as possible. An experiment is also proposed.
