To determine whether there is any change in the period of oscillation of a spring when it is oscillated horizontally versus vertically, we can analyze the situation using the principles of simple harmonic motion (SHM). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Spring-Mass System**: - A spring-mass system can oscillate when it is displaced from its equilibrium position. The restoring force is provided by the spring, which follows Hooke's law: \( F = -kx \), where \( k \) is the spring constant and \( x \) is the displacement from the equilibrium position. 2. **Horizontal Oscillation**: ...
