A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the
equilibrium position. Starting at t = 0, an external force equal to f(t) = 2sin(4t) is applied to the
system. Find the equation of motion if the surrounding medium offers a damping force that is
numerically equal to 8 times the instantaneous velocity.
Hint: Use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
