This application simulates a mass–spring system.

Buttons:

• Restart the simulation.
• Configure system parameters: body mass, spring constant, etc.
• Toggle the system power panel.
• Toggle the system dynamic variables panel: position x, velocity v, and time t.

This simulation is based on the following ordinary differential equation:

where $k_2$ and $k_3$ are the nonlinear parts of the spring constant and $F_1(t)$ and $F_2(t)$ are the external forces. The ODE is solved using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method with integration step $h$.
