21. A mass weighing 12 pounds stretches a spring 3 inches. What is the spring constant
for this spring?
22. A mass weighing 4 pounds stretches a spring 4 inches.
(a) Formulate an initial-value problem that corresponds to the motion of this un-
damped mass-spring system if the mass is extended 1 foot from its rest position
and released (with no initial velocity).
(b) Using the result of Exercise 20, find the solution of this initial-value problem.
