One end of a spring with spring constant k is attached to the wall. The other end is attached to a block of mass m. The block rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The equilibrium position of the left side of the block is defined to be x = 0. The length of the relaxed spring is L. (Figure 1) The block is slowly pulled from its equilibrium position to some position init> 0 along the x axis. At time t = 0, the block is released with zero initial velocity. The goal is to determine the position of the block (t) as a function of time in terms of w and init It is known that a general solution for the displacement from equilibrium of a harmonic oscillator is x(t) = C cos (wt) + S sin (wt), where C, S, and w are constants.
