QUESTION:

A mass weighing 10 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. The mass is attached to a dashpot device that offers a damping force numerically equal to \(\beta(\beta>0)\) times the instantaneous velocity. Determine the values of the damping constant \(\beta\) so that the subsequent motion is (a) overdamped, (b) critically damped, and (c) underdamped.
