A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the equilibrium position, Starting at t = 0, an external force equal to f(t) = 6sin(4t) is applied to the system. Find the equation of motion if the surrounding medium offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 8 times the instantaneous velocity. (Use g = 32 ft/s^2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

A 1-kilogram mass is attached to a spring whose constant is 18 N/m, and the entire system is then submerged in a liquid that imparts a damping force numerically equal to 11 times the instantaneous velocity. Starting at t = 0, an external force equal to f(t) = 2sin⁡(3t) is applied to the system. Determine the equations of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 meter below the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 11 m/s.

A mass weighing 4 pound is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 2 lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity. The mass is initially released from 1 foot above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 14 ft/s. Determine the time at which mass passes through the equilibrium position. (Use g = 32 ft/s^2 for acceleration due to gravity.)

Find the time (in s) after mass passes through the equilibrium position at which the mass attains its extreme displacement from the equilibrium position.
