This problem is an example of critically damped harmonic motion.
A mass \( m=3 \mathrm{~kg} \) is attached to both a spring w

This problem is an example of critically damped harmonic motion. A mass is attached to both a spring with spring constant and a dash-pot with damping constant . The ball is started in motion with initial position and initial velocity . Determine the position function in meters. Graph the function . Now assume the mass is set in motion with the same initial position and velocity, but with the dashpot disconnected ( so ). Solve the resulting differential equation to find the position function . In this case the position function can be written as . Determine and . Finally, graph both function and in the same window to illustrate the effect of damping.
