Question: An external force will be applied to the system. Be careful to determine whether the force(s) given in the problem refer to an external force
An external force will be applied to the system. Be careful to determine whether the force(s) given in the problem refer to an external force or a damping force or a spring force. Example: A mass weighing 2 lb stretches a spring by 0.5 ft. The spring is displaced 1 ft below the equilibrium and then released. The spring is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 6 lb when the mass has a velocity of 3 ft/sec. The external forcing function is cos(5t). (Assume g = 32 ft/sec^2). Formulate the initial value problem. Do not solve.
