Choose the correct number below. The Lagrangian of a particle of mass m moving in one dimension is given by:       L = 12 m x2 – b x   Where b is a positive constant. The coordinate of the particle x (t) at a time t is given by:   A. - b2m t2 + C1 t + C2  B. C1 t + C2 C. C1 Cos (btm) + C2 Sin (btm) D. C1 Cosh (btm) + Sinh (btm)   show how you got it. All steps must be clearly shown.
Our unforced spring mass model is mx00 + βx0 + kx = 0 with m, β, k >0. We know physically that our spring will eventually come to rest nomatter the initial conditions or the values of m, β, or k. If our modelis a good model, all solutions x(t) should approach 0 as t → ∞. Foreach of the three cases below, explain how we know that both rootsr1,2 =−β ± Sqrt(β^2 − 4km)/2mwill lead to solutions that exhibit exponentialdecay.(a) β^2 − 4km > 0. (b) β^2 − 4km =0. (c) β^2 − 4km >= 0.
