Find the equation of motion

Reference no: EM13976020

A mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8/3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion x(t) if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t) = 15 cos 3t. (Use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)
