Applications of Differential Equations : Mass-spring system


The motion of a certain mass in a spring is described by:

[tex]\sf x''+2x'+2x=5sin(t)[/tex]


a) What is the amplitude of the resulting constant periodic oscillations?


b) Suppose the mass is initially at rest, that is, x(0)=0 and x′(0)=0, find the position function x(t).
