QUESTION:

A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 4 N/m, and hangs in equilibrium. An external force F(t) = (1 + t +sin2t) N is applied to the mass beginning at time t = 0. If the spring is stretched a length (1/2+ ~/4) m or more from its equilibrium position, then it will break. Assuming no damping present, find the time at which the spring breaks.
