1) A mass m is released from rest with two unstretched springs as shown. Its acceleration is given by the expression a = (32.2-50 s) m/s² (where s is the distance away from the equilibrium position of the two springs). a) How far does the mass fall (Hint: what is its speed when it is at its maximum displacement?) b) What is the maximum velocity of the mass as it falls? (Hint: what calculus technique is used to find the maximum value of a function?) S
