(1 point) An 4-kg mass is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling and allowed to come to rest. Assume that the spring constant is 20 N/m and the damping constant is 2 N-sec/m. At time t=0t=0, an external force of F(t)=2cos(2t+π4)F(t)=2cos(2t+π4) is applied to the system. Formulate the initial value problem describing the motion of the mass and determine the amplitude and period of the steady-state solution.
Let y(t)y(t) to denote the displacement, in meters, of the mass from its equilibrium position. Set up a differential equation that describes this system. (give your answer in terms of y,y′,y′′y,y′,y″).
