Question: ( ( 1 5 % ) ) A 2 Kg mass is hanging on one end of a vertical spring whose spring

\((15\%)\) A 2 Kg mass is hanging on one end of a vertical spring whose spring constant is \(3\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}\). There is a dashpot damping device which offers a resistive force equal to four times the speed of the moving mass. The mass is then released 50 cm below the equilibrium position with an initial downward velocity of \(0.3\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\).
a) Write down the differential equation for the vertical displacement \( x(t)\) of the hanging mass assuming there is no external force acting on the system.
b) For the system in part (a), determine whether the system is overdamped, underdamped or critically damped.
c) If there is now an external force \(\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{t})=40\sin (\gamma \mathrm{t})\) Newtons, does the system exhibit a resonance peak? Explain.
