Document Summary
Math 307, sections a and b, summer 2009, solutions to midterm ii: a force of 2. 5 newtons stretches a spring 40 cm. A mass of 2 kg is attached to the spring and an external force of 4cos(t) newtons acts on the mass. The system is placed in a liquid that imparts a viscous force of 2 newtons when the speed is 2 meters per second. The mass is set in motion from the equilibrium position with an initial velocity if 4 cm/sec. (14 points) (a) formulate the initial value problem for the position of the mass as a function of time. m = 2. 2u + u + 6. 25u = 4 cos t, u(0) = 0, u (0) = 0. 04. (b) find the steady state solution. (how does the solution behave when t is very large?) U (t) = a cos t + b sin t,
