Question
Problems 6 though 10 involve modelling the motion of an object attached to
a spring. The function, y(t), denotes the displacement of the mass from the
equilibrium position, and is a function of time, t. The velocity and acceleration
are
v(t) = y'(t) =
dt
dy
and
ddy
a(t) = y"(t) =
dt2
respectively.
All work, solutions and answers should be written in terms of t.
