A 16-lb weight is attached to a frictionless spring, that in turn is suspendedfrom the ceiling. The weight stretches the spring ft and comes to rest in itsequilibrium position. The weight is then pushed up 1 foot and released with anupward velocity of 6 ft/sec. Find the initial value problem that describes the motion ofthe weight, and solve it, writing your solution in the form u(t) = R cos( ω0t - δ )
