A hollow steel ball weighing 4 pounds is suspended from a spring. This stretches the spring feet. The ball is started in motion from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 5 feet per second. The air resistance (in pounds) of the moving ball numerically equals 4 times its velocity (in feet per second).
