A 10-lb weight is attached to a spring suspended from the ceiling. When the weight comes to rest, the spring is stretched by 1.5 inches. The damping constant for the system is 5√2 lbs /(ft./sec.). The weight is pulled down 3 inches from its equilibrium position and released. a) Determine the motion of the weight. b) Determine the damped amplitude, damped natural frequency, and damped period of the subsequent motion
