This problem is an example of critically damped harmonic motion.
A hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring 1818 feet. The ball is started in motion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 55 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second) . Suppose that after t seconds the ball is y feet below its rest position. Find y in terms of t.
Take as the gravitational acceleration 32 feet per second per
second. (Note that the positive y direction is down in this
problem.)
