A 2 kg mass is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling, thereby causing the spring to stretch 20 cm upon coming to rest at equilibrium. At time t = 0, the mass is displaced 5 cm below the equilibrium position and released. At this same instant, an external force F(t) = 0.3 cos t N is applied to the systems. If the damping constant for the system is 5 N-sec/m, determine the equation of the motion for the mass. What is the resonance frequency for the system?
A mass weighing 8 lb is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling and comes to rest at its equilibrium position. At t = 0, an external force F(t) = 2 cos 2t lb is applied to the system. If the spring constant is 10 lb/ft and the damping constant is 1 lb-sec/ft, find the equation of motion of the mass. What is the resonance frequency for the system?
Speed Bumps. Often bumps like the one depicted in Figure 4.11 are built into roads to discourage speeding. The figure suggests that a crude model of the vertical motion y(t) of a car encountering the speed bump with the speed V is given by

(The absence of a damping term indicates that the car’s shock absorbers are not functioning.)
A 2 – kg mass is attached to a spring with a stiffness of 40 N/m. The damping constant for the system is N-sec/m. If the mass is pulled 10 cm to the right of the equilibrium and given an initial rightward velocity of 2 m/sec, what is the maximum displacement from equilibrium that it will attain?
A 2 – kg mass is attached to a spring with stiffness k = 50 N/m. The mass is displaced to the left of the equilibrium point and given a velocity of 1 m/sec to the left. Neglecting damping, find the equation of motion of the mass along with the amplitude, period, and frequency. How long after release does the mass pass through the equilibrium position?
