material science - Friction between atoms in spring


if i doing experiment on spring-mass system in vaccum,if i pull the to some extent (within elastic limit of spring) & let it go,will the system oscillate indefinitely? (neglect contact frictions at support of wall,spring-mass connections),if not tell the reason? hint :there is no posiibility to loss of sound because there is no medium(vaccum) is there any friction between atoms/molecules of spring during continuous extension & contraction of spring, if it so tell the answer in atomic perspective..please help me

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
