	When a mass is permanently attached to a mass, the mass' velocity increases as it approaches <math> L_0 </math> and decreases the further away it gets, causing an oscillation. In some cases, this may result in [[Simple Harmonic Motion]], in which the different aspects of the oscillation can be modeled and found trigonometric functions. For more information, see the linked page.

	~~This concept of motion stems directly from Sir Isaac Newton~~'s ~~Third Law~~ of ~~Motion: "For every action~~, ~~there is an equal~~ and ~~opposite reaction" which~~ was ~~published~~ in ~~his work~~ the ''~~Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica''~~ in ~~1687. This can be modeled well with a spring~~. ~~As you (or gravity and a weighted mass) stretch one end of a spring~~, ~~the~~ spring ~~pulls back based on our model of its~~ force.
