Comment: Much of this essay is incorrect. A pendulum is a mass that is suspended and moves freely. We do not have an article about the helical spring pendulum, suspended vertically, which is often a lab project in physics classes, but we do have one about the related Wilberforce pendulum. Horizontal springs, shock absorbers, and suspensions are not pendulums. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

A helical spring pendulum is a mechanical system that exhibits simple harmonic motion (SHM), consisting of a mass attached to a helical spring. When displaced from its equilibrium position, the mass oscillates due to the restoring force of the spring, governed by Hooke's law. This system is commonly studied in physics to illustrate concepts of oscillation, energy transfer, and harmonic motion.
