Question:
A spring fixed at its upper end is stretched 6 inches by a 10-pound weight attached at its lower end. The spring-mass system is suspended in a viscous medium so that the system is subjected to a damping force of \(5 \frac{d x}{d t}\) lbs. Describe the motion of the system if the weight is drawn down an additional 4 inches and released. What would happen if you changed the coefficient " 5 " to " 4 "?
