- (a) Determine a differential equation for the velocity v(t) of a mass m sinking in water that imparts a resistance proportional to the square of the instantaneous velocity (with a constant of proportionality k > 0) and also exerts an upward buoyant force whose magnitude is given by Archimedes' principle, which states that the upward buoyant force has magnitude equal to the weight of the water displaced. Assume that the positive direction is downward.
