Question:

An object of mass m (in grams) attached to a coiled spring with damping factor b (in grams per second) is pulled down a distance a (in centimeters) from its rest position and then released. Assume that the positive direction of the motion is up and the period is T (in seconds) under simple harmonic motion.

(a) Write an equation that relates the distance d of the object from its rest position after t seconds.

(b) Graph the equation found in part (a) for 5 oscillations using a graphing utility.

m = 10, a = 5, b = 0.8, T = 3
