A weight is attached to a spring which moves up and down as a function of time
plt) uves the position of the weight at time (t). Position is in centimeters and time is in seconds
Complete the following sentences based on the graph of the function,
• The graph is a nonlinear function
• The initial position of the weight is centimeters
• The weight first reaches equilibrium Whent = seconds)
Note: We say that the weight is at equilibrium whenever plt) = 0 cm, and we say that the initial position of the block
is its position when t = 0
