The ball is modelled as a particle of mass 0.1 kg and the spring is modelled as a light elastic spring $A B$, of natural length 0.5 m and modulus of elasticity 2.45 N . The particle is attached to the end $B$ of the spring. Initially, at time $t = 0$, the end $A$ is held at rest and the particle hangs at rest in equilibrium below $A$ at the point $E$. The end $A$ then begins to move along the line of the spring in such a way that, at time $t$ seconds, $t \leq 1$, the downward displacement of $A$ from its initial position is 2 sin $2 t$ metres.
