find the determinant, or using x−1 to find the inverse
matrix are not allowed. All of the steps in your solu-
tion should be shown clearly.

20 7. Suppose that the mass in a mass-spring system with m = 4 kg and k = 100 N/m is set into
motion with x(0) = −1 m and initial velocity x′ (0) = 5 m/s.
(a) Find the position x(t) of the mass at time t.
(b) Find the amplitude, the period of the motion, and the time lag.
(c) Find the first time when the mass passes through the equilibrium position and determine
its velocity at that time.
(d) Let F (t) = 10 sin 5t be an external forcing function applied to this mass-spring system.
