- From a differential equations class: A mass of 6kg stretches a spring 15cm. The mass is acted on by an external force of 7*sin(t/2) Newtons and moves in a medium that imparts a viscous force of 3Newtons when the speed of the mass is 9cm/s. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 2cm/s, determine the position u of the mass at any time t. Use 9.8m/s2 as the acceleration due to gravity. Pay close attention to the units. The answer should be a function u(t), and the function should output in meters.arrow_forwardA.1You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8.7 light-years distant star Sirius.
