Question
Experimentally it is found that a 6 kg weight stretches a certain spring 6 cm. If the weight is
pulled 4 cm below the equilibrium position and released:
a. Set up the differential equation and associated conditions describing the motion.
b. Find the position of the weight as a function of time.
c. Find the amplitude, period, and frequency of motion
d. Determine the position, velocity and acceleration of the weight 0.5s after it has been
released.
