QUESTION:

A mass weighing 24 pounds stretches a spring 4 feet. The subsequent motion takes place in medium that offers a damping force numerically equal to \(\beta(\beta>0)\) times the instantaneous velocity. If the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 2 ft/s, show that when \(\beta>3 \sqrt{2}\) the equation of motion is

\(x(t)=\frac{-3}{\sqrt{\beta^{2}-18}} e^{-2 \beta t / 3} \sinh \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{\beta^{2}-18} t\).
