Consider the dynamics of a mass on a spring, given by d²x(t) +kx = 0. dt² By setting y = x, reduce the second order ODE into a system of first order ODES. Then, find co-ordinates in which the 1st order system is diagonal and thus solve the system of equations. Plot the solution starting from non-zero initial conditions in the (x(t),y(t)) plane and interpret this solution in terms of the original mass on the spring.
