An illustration of a mass on a vertical spring with a transverse wave showing the position of the mass on the spring will make a transverse wave shape if bouncing up and down and moving horizontally. The shortest spring has the mass at the top of each crest and are labeled A and E respectively. The position where the mass in in the trough of the transverse wave would be labeled C and stretches the spring the farthest. The middle length springs has masses where the equilibrium of the material of the medium containing the transverse wave would be at the equilibrium of the material would be and are labeled B and D.
At which point(s) is the net force the greatest?
At which point(s) is the net force zero?
