Description

We consider two springs (coils - top one thin as it has smaller spring constant and bottom one thicker as it has larger spring constant) and a mass (plate) in a vertical mode configuration. The top spring is attached at height 30 cm above where the lower spring is attached. We illustrate the configuration at two different positions.

The figure  shows the mass displaced vertically when the spring system is in the initial displacement position of 10 cm below the static equilibrium, i.e. at rest, while the figure on the right shows the mass displaced vertically at approximately the static equilibrium after it settles near time t = 8 sec.
