To create a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to apply a force at one end of the spring so that it compresses and then release it so that it expands. This compression and expansion will propagate as a longitudinal wave through the spring.
To set up a longitudinal wave in a stretched spring, you would need to displace one end of the spring from its equilibrium position, creating a compression or rarefaction. This disturbance would propagate longitudinally through the spring as adjacent particles push or pull on each other. The wave would continue to travel along the spring until it reaches the other end.
Compression
To create a longitudinal wave in a metal rod, you would need to strike the rod at one end with a quick and abrupt force. This force will generate compressions and rarefactions in the material, causing the longitudinal wave to propagate through the rod.
That would be a spring, which is stretched when you apply force to it. The spring used have a specific force constant, which means that an extension of the spring to a certain length is equal to a fixed amount of force.
Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.

More than likely the Governor spring is stretched from being drove in under a tree, or unhooked, or broken.
A spring would be the apparatus used to change elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. When a compressed or stretched spring is released, it converts the stored potential energy into kinetic energy as it returns to its equilibrium position.
The slope of a spring's force vs. displacement graph follows Hooke's Law, where the slope represents the spring constant (k). For a stiff spring, the slope is steep, indicating a high spring constant and greater force required for displacement. Conversely, a more flexible spring has a gentler slope, indicating a lower spring constant and less force needed for the same displacement. In both cases, the relationship remains linear as long as the spring is not stretched beyond its elastic limit.
To create a longitudinal wave, you would need to oscillate a source back and forth in the direction of wave propagation. This motion causes compressions and rarefactions in the medium through which the wave is traveling, leading to the propagation of the wave in the same direction. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.

That would depend on many factors. Length, thickness, density, resonance....too many factors to take a stab at an answer.
