It depends on what kind of use you're looking for, if you are looking to use a spring in some kind of a demonstration for a class, you can attach a mass to it, put it against gravity and set it off on an oscillation, explaining how it exhibits the features of Standard Harmonic Motion... particularly useful for students studying PH4 WJEC Oscillations.

If your simply looking for an example, a simple one that is always overlooked is where you're in a restaurant, perhaps an all inclusive one where you help yourself, and you grab a plate only to see another one pop up to replace it, you put it back and the stack drops down back below the surface leaving only the one plate visible once more. That's a spring suspension system, and is to do with the spring constant k, where the mass of the plate is known and and so is the height of the plate (i.e. the thickness) and so what has been achieved is that the distance the strings stretch when another plate is placed on top of the pile, is equal to the thickness of the plate, and voila, only one plate visible at a time...

Hope this helps?

Spring is when the flowers bloom and the birds start to sing. Does everything have to have a use? Have you no romance in your soul?
