A 4-foot spring measures 8 feet long after a mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to it. The medium through which the mass moves offers a damping force numerically equal to V2 times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 5 ft/s. Find the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement from the equilibrium position. What is the position of the mass at this instant?

A 4-foot spring measures 8 feet long after a mass weighing 8
pounds is attached to it. The medium through which the mass
moves offers a damping force numerically equal to V2 times
the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the
mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a
downward velocity of 5 ft/s. Find the time at which the mass
attains its extreme displacement from the equilibrium position.
