In an experiment to determine the viscosity of some oil, a ball is dropped into the oil. The position of the ball is given by the formula y(t) = A + Bt +C e−Dt, where y is given in m, and t is the time in s. At t = 0, y(0) = 0.05 m, the y component of the velocity is zero and the y component of the acceleration is ay(0)= 0.02 m/s2. As t approaches infinity, the y component of the velocity approaches vy(∞) = 0.55 m/s. Hint: You will likely want to answer the questions in a different order than presented. I am trying to figure this qeustion out, I need to find out what each of the variables in the fromula are. So far I have only found out what B is because I just toook the limit of the velocity function as t approaches zero, which gave me 0.55m/s. I am just stuck on how I would go about solving for the other variables in the question.

An air–fuel mixture is compressed by a piston in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The origin of coordinate y is at the top of the cylinder, and y points straight down as shown. The piston is assumed to move up at constant speed VP. The distance L between the top of the cylinder and the piston decreases with time according to the linear approximation L = Lbottom − VPt, where Lbottom is the location of the piston when it is at the bottom of its cycle at time t = 0, as sketched in Fig. At t = 0, the density of the air–fuel mixture in the cylinder is everywhere equal to ?(0). Estimate the density of the air–fuel mixture as a function of time and the given parameters during the piston’s up stroke.

A cylinder falls down the inside of an oil-filled pipe as shown. The small space between the pipe and cylinder is lubricated with a film of oil with a viscosity mu. Derive a formula for the steady state rate of descent of the cylinder with weight, W, diameter, d, and length, l, slinding inside the vertical smooth pipe with diameter, D. Assume the cylinder is concentric with the pipe as it falls. Use the general formula to find the rate of descent of a cylinder 100mm in diameter that slides inside a 100.5mm inside diameter pipe. The cylinder is 200mm long and weights 15N. The lubricant is SAE 20W oil at 10oC.
