The Spring Pendulum
![]()  | 
    This applet shows the two dimensional spring pendulum: a mass suspended
    on a spring. The pendulum moves under the influence of gravity and the elastic force of
    the spring. The apparently simple motion of this system is complex enough that no
    equations exist that would describe it's path. The motion of the system is calculated
    using Newton's Second Law:  |
