A 4-foot spring measures 8 feet long after a mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to it. The medium through which the mass moves offers a damping force numerically equal to
2 |
times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 9 ft/s. (Use
g = 32 ft/s2
for the acceleration due to gravity.)
x(t) =
Find the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement from the equilibrium position.
t =
What is the position of the mass at this instant?
The extreme displacement is x =
feet.
