Question:1
A spring with a mass of 5 Kg has natural length 0.5m. A force of 35.6 N is required to maintain it
stretched to a length of 0.5m. If the spring is stretched to a length of 0.5m and released with initial
velocity 0, find the position of the mass at any time t. Here damping constant is zero.
Solution:

Mass = 5kg
Natural length= 0.5m
Force = 35.6 N
Stretch= 0.5m
X(0)=0.5
X’(0)=0
