11. (Mass on an inclined plane) The equation ma" + cx' mg sin a governs the straight-line displacement r(t) of a mass m along a plane that is inclined at an angle a with respect to the horizontal, if it slides under the action of gravity and fric- tion. If x(0) = 0 and x'(0) = 0, solve for z(t). HINT: First, integrate the equation once with respect to t to reduce it to a first-order linear equation.
