Spring Problems I focuses on undamped spring systems. That is, a spring system that lacks any forces counteracting the restorative force of the spring itself. This is a purely theoretical exercise as there are usually energy loses due to heat, drag against a resistive medium like water or air, a dedicated dampening force, or other external forces.

Fig 1 shows three key positions when discussing spring systems. L represents the unloaded spring length. β€œl” represents the spring elongation, sometimes using β€œs” for notation. When there is a mass on the spring and the spring system is at rest it is said to be at equilibrium. β€œy” represents an additional displacement beyond the equilibrium point, in this case either above or below.
