Is there anything at all in the whole of physics that isn't, at some point, shoehorned in the "mass on a spring" framework </sarcasm>
- semi-extrinsic 7y agoThe reason everything gets "shoehorned" into "mass on a spring" is that this is the first term in the Taylor expansion. No matter how ugly an expression you have for force as a function of distance, if you do the Taylor expansion you inevitably get a constant force term (often zero) and a "mass on a spring" term.
