g A 4-foot spring is elongated167feet long after a mass weighing 16 pounds is attached to it. The medium throughwhich the mass moves offers a damping force numerically equivalent to92times the instantaneous velocity.(a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downwardvelocity of 2 ft/s. (Use the convention that displacements measured below the equilibrium position are positive).(b) What is the velocity of the mass whent

hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

attached below is a detailed solution of the question

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
