A 16-lb weight is attached to the lower end of a coil spring suspended from the ceiling and having a spring 2.5 lb/ft. The resistance in the spring-mass system is numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity. At t=0 the weight is set in motion from a position 2 ft below its equilibrium position by giving it an upward velocity of 2 ft/sec. At the end of seconds, determine whether the mass is above or below the equilibrium position and by what distance. CEERD At t=x seconds, is the mass above or below the equilibrium position? OA. The mass is below the equilibrium position. B. The mass is above the equilibrium position. By what distance is the mass displaced from the equilibrium position at t=x seconds? y(x) = ft (Type an exact answer.)
