does mass always affect period of oscillation
T that T = 2Ï. q. m. k . Using this formula, we were able to. calculate the theoretical period of our simple harmonic oscillator. From the above formula, it can be seen that the mass of the oscillating object does have an eï¬ect. on the period of oscillation. The greater the mass, the greater the period of oscillation will be, and. the slower the cartâs oscillation.
