Question: The original length ( without any external force applied ) of a massless spring is l = 6 5 c m , hang a 1

The original length (without any external force applied) of a massless spring is l=65cm, hang a 1kg
mass to the spring, its length becomes l=85cm.
Questions:
(1) If we hold the subject by hand and let the spring back to its original length, then suddenly
release the mass without any initial velocity, calculate the mass's vibration amplitude, vibration
period and the maximum force of the spring;
(2) The same spring and mass, if the mass starts vibration at its equilibrium position with an
initial velocity v0, and the vibration amplitude is found as 4cm, what is the value of v0?
