Calculate the normal mode frequencies of two coupled oscillators connected by a spring. Coupled systems exhibit two distinct modes of oscillation with different frequencies.
Enter your values below
Mass of each oscillator (assumed equal)
Spring constant of the main springs
Spring constant connecting the two masses
How this calculator works
In-phase mode frequency uses only the restoring spring k. Out-of-phase mode includes the coupling spring k' which increases the frequency.
