Mass on a spring of structure-less body
Not what you're looking for?
Let m be the mass of a structureless body supported by a spring
with a uniform force constant k . Set up the differential equation of motion that determines the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position
at time t when the intital conditions are x(0) = x0 and x'(0) = 0.
