Answer #1

When we attach a mass 0.5 kg and let it fall, then at first it will start to oscillate vertically and oscillations will stop after some time. The point at which it will stop, will be the point of maximum displacement. It can be calculated by applying the simple formula,

Here, F is the weight of object attached to the spring.

Therefore,

And the displacement will be,

(Taking negative sign for force since it is in downward direction and k is given equals to 5.1 N/m.)

This is the point at which it will stop. And same is the amplitude.
