Why is my solution to finding the spring constant incorrect?

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6363910, member: 334404"] I did not understand that part of your reply. The solution you found on the net interprets the "eventually comes to rest" as meaning after oscillations have died down (due to damping). This makes the initial fall of the mass irrelevant; it could have been placed on the pan gently. Of course this will give a different answer to the one you found. Are you sure the answer on the net is the intended interpretation? Was it provided by the person who set the question? [/QUOTE]
