      abstract     = {This paper discusses the oscillations of a spring (slinky)
                      under its ownweight. A discrete model, describing the slinky
                      byNsprings andNmasses, isintroduced and compared to a
                      continuous treatment. One interesting result is thatthe
                      upper part of the slinky performs a triangular oscillation
                      whereas the bottompart performs an almost harmonic
                      oscillation if the slinky starts with ”natural”
                      initialconditions, where the spring is just pulled further
                      down from its rest position undergravity and then
                      released.It is also shown that the period of the oscillation
                      is simply given byT=√32L/g,whereLis the length of the
                      slinky under its own weight andgthe acceleration ofgravity
                      independent of the other properties of the spring.},
