In the first case, the force acting on the spring is the weight of the mass:
This force causes a stretching of
on the spring, so we can use these data to find the spring constant:
In the second case, the first mass is replaced with a second mass, whose weight is
And since we know the spring constant, we can calculate the new elongation of the spring:
