Question
Consider a spring with a spring constant of 10.0 N/m supporting a 2.28 kg mass on a horizontal table top. The mass is pulled so the spring is initially stretched 10 cm. Friction causes the oscillation to half every 4 seconds. Sketch a graph of the position of the mass with respect to time. Write the equation for this motion.
