Question:

Problems 24 through 34 deal with a mass–spring–dashpot system having position function x(t) satisfying Eq. (4). We write x0 = x(0) and v0 = x'(0) and recall that

The system is critically damped, overdamped, or underdamped, as specified in each problem.

Deduce from Problem 24 that the mass passes through x = 0 at some instant t > 0 if and only if x0 and v0 + px0 have opposite signs.
