QUESTION 8
A 8 pound weight stretches a spring 4 feet. Assume the surrounding medium offers a damping force of 4 times the instantaneous velocity. The mass is driven by an external force of 25cost.
The correct differential equation for the position, x(t), of the mass at a function of time, t, is
(Use g=32fts2)
Select the correct answer
a.12d2xdt2+4dxdt+4x=25cost
b.4d2xdt2+dxdt+4x=25cost
c.14d2xdt2+4dxdt+2x=25cost
d.d2xdt2+14dxdt+4x=25cost
e.d2xdt2+4dxdt+4x=25cost
