Solve Equation of Motion for Spring Damper System

Can you please help me solve the equation of motion for the following diagram

Schematic of a mass m above a spring k and damper c mounted on a ground surface, with height h = 2 m and displacement x(t) marked; values m = 10 kg, k = 1 000 N/m, c = 0; 10; 100; 500 Ns/m.

Thanks

You should at least write up the equation before asking for help to solve it. So could you write the equation?

What I need is the equation, the rest I can work from there

I have not understood the figure ... The mass is attached to the spring and the dashpot?
For the system in figure (I've attached), the equation of motion is:
m[tex]\ddot{x}[/tex]+c[tex]\dot{x}[/tex]+kx=0
