A damped oscillator is formed by attaching a mass with m = 1.5
kg to one end of a spring with spring constant k = 8 N/m. The other
end of the spring is anchored and the mass can slide on a
horizontal surface The damping force is given by –bv with b = 230
g/s. At t=0, the mass is displaced so that the spring is compressed
by 12 cm from its unstretched length and released from rest.
