A spring has a spring constant of 4 Newtons per meter. A block of mass 5 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring which is situated horizontally. (a) What is the drag coefficient for the critical damping case? Justify your answer If u is the horizontal distance the block is from its equilibrium position with u increasing (b) in the right (stretching) direction, give the initial value problem for the case when the spring starts at 0.5 meters to the right of equilibrium is is pushed left with a velocity of 2 meters per second. Assume the critical damping case and do NOT solve the problem.
