Question

If we attach mass(es) to the bottom of the spring (wire), what do you think will happen to the spring (wire)?

Answer 1

If you attach the mass to the bottom of the spring, it will elongate (deform). If the mass is very small, then the elongation may not be noticeable. The result depends on the weight and stiffness of the spring.
