Oscillations of a Particle Attached to a Heavy Spring: An Application of the Stieltjes Integral.
Weinstock, Robert
American Journal of Physics, v47 n6 p508-14 Jun 1979
Describes, using "nonorthogonal" displacement functions, the normal-mode motions of a massive particle and a spring of non-negligible mass to whose end the particle is attached. The results lead to the complete solution for the general motion of the spring-plus-particle system. Shows that the presence/absence of gravity is irrelevant to the general conclusions reached.
