A mass weighting 40 lbs stretches a spring 3 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 10 lbs when the mass has a velocity of 2 ft/sec. Suppose the object is displaced an additional 4 inches and released. Find an equation for the object's displacement, u(t), in feet after t seconds.
