A brick of mass 4 kg hangs from the end of a spring. When the brick is at rest, the spring is stretched by 9 cm. The spring is then stretched an additional 2 cm and released. Assume there is no air resistance. Note that the acceleration due to gravity, g. is g = 980 cm/s. Set up a differential equation with initial conditions describing the motion and solve it for the displacement s(t) of the mass from its equilibrium position (with the spring stretched 9 cm). s(t) = cm (Note that your answer should measure t in seconds and s in centimeters.)
