Find a particular solution of the differential equation using the operator D method.
(b)
Show that if satisfies the differential equation with ( and if when ), where , then
The complete period of small oscillations of a simple pendulum is . and the angular retardation due to air resistance is the angular velocity of the pendulum. The bob is held at rest so the string makes a small angle with the downwards vertical and then let go. Show that after complete oscillations the string will make an angle of about with the vertical. (c) Solve the initial value problem ( ) ( ) ( )

For the oscillating motion of an object on the end of the spring, ( ) ( ) ( ) the differential equation is ( ). In the equation is the displacement form equilibrium (positive direction is downward) measured in feet and is the time in seconds (see figure1). The constant is the weight of the object, is the acceleration due to gravity, is the magnitude of the resistance to the motion, is the spring constant from Hookes law, and ( ) is the acceleration imposed on the system. In an experiment the equation reduces to ( ), then solve the differential equation.
