(6%) Problem 17: In the analysis of a block-spring system undergoing simple harmonic motion, the mass of the spring is usually considered negligible. However, when we do account for the mass of the spring, we find that its effect is to increase the period. Let the masses of the block and spring be M and m, respectively. Assume the spring is uniform and the speed of a slice of the spring is directly proportional to its distance from the fixed end. For example, the speeds of the spring at its fixed end, its mid-point, and the point where it connects to the block are 0, v/2, and v, respectively, where v is the instantaneous speed of the block.
