p
is a solution to the above equation.
[b] Find the general solution to the differential equation.

kg
stretches the spring by 5

) meters. Use
g
= 10
m/s

as the acceleration due to gravity.
[a] (4pts) Find the spring constant
k
.
[b] (4pts) Denote by
y
(
t
) the displacement the mass at any time
t
, with
y
(
t
)
>
0 when
the spring is stretched from the equilibrium position and
y
(
t
)
<
0 when the spring is
compressed. Write down the differential equation that governs the motion of this un-
damped mass-spring system.
Note: you need to put in actual numbers, not just symbols,
for the mass, spring constant, and etc., to get full credit. No need to show work.
[c] (16pts) Suppose the initial displacement is

. Find
y

[d] (6pts) Graph the solution (be sure your graph illustrates the period, amplitude, and
phase shift accurately).

4 (14pts). You have a spring in a damping media, but you don’t know the spring con-
stant nor the damping constant. To find that out, you decide to attach a mass of 1
kg
to the spring and plot the motion of this unforced damped spring-mass system. The
graph below is a plot of the displacement of the mass at any time
t
. Write down the
differential equation governing its motion.
Explain your reasoning to get full credit.
Note: you should write down actual (esti-
mated) numbers based on what you gather from the graph, not just a symbolic equation.
