QUESTION:

A mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to a spring. When set in motion, the spring/mass system exhibits simple harmonic motion.

(a) Determine the equation of motion if the spring constant is 1 lb/ft and the mass is initially released from a point 6 inches below the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of \(\frac{3}{2}\) ft/s.

(b) Express the equation of motion in the form given in (6).

(c) Express the equation of motion in the form given in \(\left(6^{\prime}\right)\).
