5. Suppose that a mass of 5 stretches a spring 10. The mass is acted on by an external force
of F(t)=10 sin () and moves in a medium that gives a damping coefficient of ½. If the mass
is set in motion with an initial velocity of 3 and is stretched initially to a length of 5. (I
purposefully removed the units- don't worry about them. Assume no conversions are
needed.)
a) Find the equation for the displacement of the spring mass at time t.
b) Write the equation for the displacement of the spring mass in phase-mode form.
c) Characterize the damping of the spring mass system as overdamped, underdamped or
critically damped. Explain how you know.
