Undamped Natural Circular Frequency

The Undamped Natural Circular Frequency calculator compute the frequency (ω_n) based on the acceleration due to gravity (g) and the static deflection (δ_sd).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose the preferred units and enter the following:

• (δ_sd)  Static Deflection

Undamped Natural Circular Frequency (ω_n): The calculator returns the frequency in units of per_seconds.  However, this can be automatically converted to other frequency units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

Undamped Natural Circular Frequency (ω_n) is computed with the following equation:

           ω_n = `sqrt(g/(delta_(sd))`

where:

• ω_n = Undamped Natural Circular Frequency
• g is the acceleration due to gravity
• δ_sd is the static deflection.

The natural frequency is the rate at which an object vibrates when it is not disturbed by an outside force.  The input to this equation is the static deflection distance, `delta`.
