Resonance with Masses on Springs

This is an interactive simulation intended to help students get a better feel for mechanical resonance. Using the given masses and spring constants, students can calculate the expected natural frequency of each spring's oscillation. When the outside oscillator matches any of these frequencies, that particular mass will go into a larger resonant oscillation.
