The displacement x(t) cms at time t seconds, of a spring moving along a line is given by the formula: x(t) = 8e- cos(2t). Compute the velocity x'(t) and acceleration x"(t) of the spring and show that these are related by a formula of the kind x" + ax' + bx O for suitable constants a and b which must be found. Also estimate the maximum speed of the particle and its maximum acceleration, during its motion, with explanation. Also discuss the behavior of the motion for large times.

Geologists have learned of periods in thepast when the Strait of Gibraltar closed off, and the MediterraneanSea dried out and become a desert. Later, when the strait reopened,a massive saltwater waterfall was created. According to geologists,the water in this waterfall was supersonic; that is, it fell with speedsin excess of the speed of sound. Ignoring air resistance, what is theminimum height necessary to create a supersonic waterfall? (Thespeed of sound may be taken to be 340 m>s.)
