A 2-Pound Weight Is Hung on a Spring and Stretches x(t)x ( t )

Question 46

Multiple Choice

A 2-pound weight is hung on a spring and stretches it 1/2 foot. The mass spring system is then put into motion in a medium offering a damping force numerically equal to the velocity. If the mass is pulled down 4 inches from equilibrium and released, the initial value problem describing the position, x(t) x ( t ) , of the mass at time tt is


A) x16xt+64x=0,x(0) =4,x(0) =0x ^ { \prime \prime } - 16 x ^ { t } + 64 x = 0 , x ( 0 ) = 4 , x ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0
B) x+16xt+64x=0,x(0) =4,x(0) =0x ^ { \prime \prime } + 16 x ^ { t } + 64 x = 0 , x ( 0 ) = 4 , x ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0
C) x16x+64x=0,x(0) =1/3,x(0) =0x ^ { \prime \prime } - 16 x ^ { \prime } + 64 x = 0 , x ( 0 ) = 1 / 3 , x ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0
D) x+16x+64x=0,x(0) =1/3,x(0) =0x ^ { \prime \prime } + 16 x ^ { \prime } + 64 x = 0 , x ( 0 ) = 1 / 3 , x ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0
E) x+64x=16,x(0) =1/3,x(0) =0x ^ { \prime \prime } + 64 x = 16 , x ( 0 ) = 1 / 3 , x ^ { \prime } ( 0 ) = 0
