Ah, I see. If the mass were just dropped, which would cause it to come to a stop at twice the 'x' distance, would the equilibrium point then be at 'x' below the original position, and the amplitude of the resulting oscillations 'x' as well?

Homework Statement A stone of mass m is at rest on a vertical spring which is compressed a distance x. Find its spring constant k. All variables are given in the problem. Homework Equations I solved this problem realizing that because the mass is at equilibrium, the sum of the...
