A spring with length L and spring constant k  is fixed on the ceiling. Hang a mass point m  on the bottom of the spring. Find the  relation between distsnce h from m to ceiling  and time t. Ignore air resistance, friction and  gravity of spring.

ω=(√(k/m))  A=((mg)/k)  x=A sin (ωt−(π/2))=−A cos ωt  h=L+A+x=L+A−A cos ωt  ⇒h=L+((mg)/k)[1− cos ((√(k/m)) t)]
$$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{{k}}{{m}}} \\ $$$${A}=\frac{{mg}}{{k}} \\ $$$${x}={A}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\omega{t}−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right)=−{A}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\omega{t} \\ $$$${h}={L}+{A}+{x}={L}+{A}−{A}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\omega{t} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{h}={L}+\frac{{mg}}{{k}}\left[\mathrm{1}−\:\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\sqrt{\frac{{k}}{{m}}}\:{t}\right)\right] \\ $$
