Updated plots to confirm if the plot depends on the correct selection of timestep. Also updated the algorithm for clerical errors.

| Aug 8, 2017 at 15:33 | comment | added | user65081 | I suspect that the problem is that the time step is too large. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 14:58 | comment | added | Kyle Kanos | @JonCuster This question is not about debugging code but about what is the right way to physically model a spring with a computer. If that is not physics, I don't know what is. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | Jon Custer | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because this is debugging code. | |

Algorithm to determine displacement
|
| Aug 8, 2017 at 3:50 | comment | added | Stephen Jacob | I am using the equations of motion, to summarize I use, s = ut + 0.5at^2, followed by v = u+at, and update of restoring force (k*s)/m, where k and m are spring constant and mass, respectively, for different time steps. I will add the precise notations and sequence in the original question after some time. | |
