It is time to investigate what it means to have a deformation in our physics system. By deformation, I mean that the vertices of our shapes are no longer fixed to one point within the model. We will begin with what I believe by investigating the most common of all deformations: a weight attached to a spring in two dimensions.

Undamped Springs

Spring Length (m) Start Displacement (m) Spring Constant (N / m) Mass (kg)

Damped Springs

Spring Length (m) Start Displacement (m) Spring Constant (N / m) Viscous Damping Constant (N / m) Mass (kg)
