A 20-g mass is suspended from the end of a vertical spring having a spring constant of 2880 dynes/cm and allowed to reach equilibrium. It is then set into motion by stretching the spring 3 cm from its equilibrium position and releasing the mass with an initial velocity of 10 cm/sec in the downward direction. Find the position of the mass at any time t if there is no external force and no air resistance.
