A mass hangs from a spring and oscillates vertically. The top end of the spring is attached to the top of a box, and the box is placed on a scale, as shown in the figure. The reading on the scale is largest when the mass is
  • A
    At its maximum height
  • B
    At its minimum height
  • C
    At the midpoint of its motion
  • D
    All points give the same reading.
