A mass weighing 4 N is attached to a spring whose constant is 2 N/m. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity. The mass is initially released from a point 1 m above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 6 m/s. Determine the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position. (Use
g = 9.8 m/s2
for the acceleration due to gravity.)
s
Find the time after the mass passes through the equilibrium
position at which the mass attains its extreme displacement from
the equilibrium position.
s
What is the position of the mass at this instant?
