A stone is tied to an elastic string of negligible mass and spring constant $k$. The unstretched length of the string is $L$ and has negligible mass. The other end of the string is fixed to a nail at a point $P$. Initially the stone is at the same level as the point $P$. The stone is dropped vertically from point $P$.
