A spring hangs vertically from a ceiling. The spring constant of the spring is k=15 N/m. A 2kg object has been attached to the spring and the spring has already come to its new equilibrium. Someone pulls the object down by 5cm and releases it at time t = 0s. The spring and object begin to oscillate under simple harmonic motion.
