Q1. A steel ball weighing 128 lb is suspended from a spring, whereupon the spring is stretched 2 ft from its natural length. The ball is started in motion with no initial velocity by displacing it 6 inch above the equilibrium poition. Assuming no air resistance, find ( a ) an expression for the displacement of the ball at any time t , and ( b ) the position of the ball at t = π / 2. Ans. ft 4

Q2. A 10 kg mass is attached to a spring, stretching it 0.7 m from its natural length. The mass is started in motion from the equilibrium position, with an initial velocity of 1 m/sec. in the upward direction. Find the displacement if the force due to air resistance (damping force) is – 90 y′.
Ans. ( ), lim 0 5
y ( t )= c 1 e −^2 t + c 2 e −^7 t = e −^7 t − e −^2 t t →∞ y =
Q3. Refer to Q2 , if the applied external force F ( t ) = 5sin t , find the displacement at any time t.
Ans. ( 90 99 13 sin 9 cos) 500

Q4. Recall that, the Newton’s Law of Cooling states that the temperature T of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between the temperatures of the object ( T ) and the
surrounding medium ( Ts ). That is, k ( T T ) T ( 0 ) T 0 dt
dT = − s =. Using this law, solve the following
problems: A. An object takes 40 minutes to cool from 30o^ C to 24 o^ C in a room having the room- temperature of 20 o^ C. Find the temperature of the object at any time t. What will be the temperature of the object after 15 minutes? How long will it take the object to cool down to 21 o^ C?
Hint: the IVP is = k ( T − 20 ), T ( 0 )= 30 , T ( 40 )= 24 dt
