A spring is stretched 5 inches abobe its rest position. Itis then released and oscillates in damped harmontic motin with a frequency of 2cycles per second. After 7 seconds you measure the amplitude of the spring to be 1.5cm.

Question

1.Find th damping constant C.
2.Find an equation that describes the postion of the spring about its rest position as afunction of time. Assum the the rest position of the spring is 6 inches above the ground and that t=0 is the moment the spring is released.
