Consider a hanging spring of negligible mass that does not obey
Hooke's law. When the spring is pulled downward by a distance r,
the spring exerts an upward force of magnitude ax, where a is a
positive constant. Initially the hanging spring is relaxed (not
extended). We then attach a block of mass m to the spring and
release the block. The block stretches the spring as it falls
