Simple Hanging Harmonic Oscillator Developed by K Roos In this set of exercises the student builds a computational model of a hanging mass-spring system that is constrained to move in 1D, using the simple Euler and the Euler-Cromer numerical schemes. The student is guided to discover, by using the model to produce graphs of the position, velocity and energy of the mass as a function of time, that the Euler algorithm does not conserve energy, and that for this simple...
