Question

 Spring oscillations A spring hangs from the ceiling at equilibrium
with a mass attached to its end. Suppose you pull downward on
the mass and release it 10 inches below its equilibrium position
with an upward push. The distance x (in inches) of the mass from
its equilibrium position after t seconds is given by the function
x(t) = 10 sin t - 10 cos t, where x is positive when the mass is
above the equilibrium position.
a. Graph and interpret this function.
b. Find dx/dt and interpret the meaning of this derivative.
c. At what times is the velocity of the mass zero?
d. The function given here is a model for the motion of an object
on a spring. In what ways is this model unrealistic?
