The problem that follow involve straight-line motion. The time t is in seconds unless otherwise stated.

The mass is released from rest with the springs unstretched. Its downward acceleration is a =32.2 –50s ft/s2, where s is the position of the mass measured from the position in which it is released.

(a) How far docs the mass fall?

(b) What is the maximum velocity of the mass as it falls?
