A block of mass m =1 is sitting on a table and is attached to a spring of strength k = 5 so that it can slide horizontally on the table. The coefficient of linear friction between the block and the table is b = 2, and an external force of F(t) = 13 cos(3t) acts on it. Find the general solution to this differential equation, and determine if the spring--mass system is over-damped, critically damped, or under-damped.

A block of mass \( m = 1 \) is sitting on a table and is attached to a spring of strength \( k = 5 \) so that it can slide horizontally on the table. The coefficient of linear friction between the block and the table is \( b = 2 \), and an external force of \( F(t) = 13 \cos(3t) \) acts on it. Find the general solution to this differential equation, and determine if the spring-mass system is over-damped, critically damped, or under-damped.
