13.10. Calculating the Motion of a Mass on a Spring
The motion of a mass on a spring that's moving horizontally (which means gravity isn't a factor) is given by this differential equation:
where x is the location of the mass, m is the mass, and k is the constant of the spring. Visit hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/shm2.html#c2 to see the solution.
