Question
A 2-lb object, that stretches a spring by 1.5 inches, is released with a downward
velocity of 32 ft/sec from 1 ft above the equilibrium position. Assume that the
mass does not experience any retarding force and the spring motion is not
influenced by an external driving force which is a function of time. Assume g=32
ft/s?.
If x is the displacement from the equilibrium position in feet, the differential
equation that models the system is
x"+16x=0
O x"+256x=0
O x"+32x=0
O x"+21.3x=0
