Is spring force a conservative force or a non-conservative force? conservative force non-conservative force

conservative force

Consider the mass-spring system shown below: The spring has a spring constant (k), and the attached mass (m) has been moved to the right by a force (f), which displaces it a distance (x) from the equilibrium position. If frictional forces are ignored, the free body diagram of the mass is: At time t=0t=0 the mass is released and oscillates about the equilibrium position forever. What is the equation of motion that describes this mass-spring system? d2x/dt2+k/mx=f/m d2x/dt2+kx=m/f f=kx not enough information

d2x/dt2+k/mx=f/m
