Effective mass of an oscillating spring

We present an experimental method to obtain the effective mass of an unloaded oscillating spring. We measure the period T(n) of the partial springs that result when hanging n of the total N coils of a given spring. Data are correlated with the expectation of a simple model for T(n) that takes into a...
