If you did the previous question right, you hopefully got an expression for yo. You may notice that
you can simplify the differential equation a little bit:
d'y
k
(y – yo)
dt2
т
The parameter yo now plays the roll of the "relaxed length". A better term may be "equilibrium value
for y". But mathematically, it's identical to a relaxed length with the spring as the only force. We
continue using this equation:
y(t) = Y0 + A cos(wt + y)
Now, solve for A (in cm) with these parameters. Again, if you need more information, enter
-100000. The parameters are:
•m = 200 grams
• Yo = (equilibrium value) = 40 cm
• k = (spring constant) = 0.03 N/cm
Problems 5 & 6 refer to the mass-spring oscillator
depicted in the figure on the right. The block has
a mass of 350 g, and is attached to a spring with a
spring constant of k

Our unforced spring mass model is mx00 + βx0 + kx = 0 with m, β, k >0. We know physically that our spring will eventually come to rest nomatter the initial conditions or the values of m, β, or k. If our modelis a good model, all solutions x(t) should approach 0 as t → ∞. Foreach of the three cases below, explain how we know that both rootsr1,2 =−β ± Sqrt(β^2 − 4km)/2mwill lead to solutions that exhibit exponentialdecay.(a) β^2 − 4km > 0.
(b) β^2 − 4km =0.
(c) β^2 − 4km >= 0.
