8. An LCR circuit connected in series has R 3 ohms, C 0.5 farad, L 1 henry and an applied
voltage E 10 volts. Assuming no initial current and no initial charge at t 0 when the voltage
is first applied, find the subsequent current in the system at any time t
Answer: i c1et c2e2t . Here i(0) 0 and i(0) 10 which implies c1 10, c2 10 .
9. A 128 lb weight is attached to a spring having a spring constant 64 lb/ft. The weight is started in
motion with no initial velocity by displacing it 6 inches above the equilibrium position and by
simultaneously applying an external force F (t ) 8sin 4t. Assuming that no air resistance, find
the subsequent motion of the weight.
