A spring with a 2-kg mass and a damping constant of 2 can be held stretched 2.5 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 7.5 newtons. Suppose the spring is stretched 5 meters beyond its natural length and then released with zero velocity. In the notation of the text, what is the value \( c^2 - 4mk \)?

\[
c^2 - 4mk = -20
\]

\[
m\frac{{d^2x}}{{dt^2}} + cx + kx = 0
\]

Find the position of the mass, in meters, after \( t \) seconds. Your answer should be a function of the variable \( t \) with the general form:

\[
c_1 e^{\alpha t} \cos(\beta t) + c_2 e^{\gamma t} \sin(\delta t)
\]

- \(\alpha = -1/2\)
- \(\beta = \sqrt{5}\)
- \(\gamma = -1/2\)
- \(\delta = \sqrt{5}\)

\[
c_1 = 5
\]

\[
c_2 = \sqrt{5}/2
\]
