It depends on the shear modulus of the material of which the wire is made, is inversely proportional to its length, and, for a wire of circular cross-section, is proportional to the fourth power of its diameter.
Ми вже стикалися з двома прикладами коливального руху - обертальним рухом і системою «маса на пружині». Останній є квінтесенціальним генератором фізики, відомим як гармонічний осцилятор.
