Consider a mass m constrained to move on the x axis and subject to a net force F = kx where k is a positive constant. The mass is released from rest at x = x0 at time t = 0. Use the result (2.85) in Problem 2.12 to find the mass's speed as a function of x; that is, dx I dt = g(x) for some function g(
