Question

An early result in the study of these devices was published in alphabetical order as "ceiiinossssttuu." These devices are used alongside masses and dashpots in the John Hancock Tower's tuned mass damper. The "leaf" (20[2]0[1])variety of these devices contain (20[1])layered (20[1])arc-shaped plates. (20[1])Mechanical analogies of circuits represent capacitors (0[1])as these devices. (20[2]0[1])The "hair" type of these devices are coupled with (*) balance wheels (10[1])and regulators. Shock absorbers (10[1])often feature (0[1])these devices (10[2])on (10[1]0[1])their (10[1])exterior. (10[3]0[1])Compliance (10[1])is the reciprocal of these devices' "constant," which (10[2])is (10[1])a linear scaling (10[3])factor (10[1])between their displacement and force. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[1])name these devices that can behave as harmonic oscillators (0[1])governed (10[1])by Hooke's law. (10[1])■END■ (10[5])

ANSWER: springs [accept leaf springs or hairsprings] (Robert Hooke introduced his namesake law with an anagram of "ut tensio, sic vis.")
