If I have a spring connected to a roof with a natural length of l, then the spring potential at any point can be given as
0.5k(x-l)^2.
Assuming the datum is at the roof.
If the datum is at the natural length of the spring then the equation is
0.5kx^2+c
The trouble I have is to dertmine c. Could anyone give some tips on that?
Thanks.
