1. Suppose that the massless spring is hanging from the ceiling. When you attached object weighing 30g and spring constant k = 15. From this position you have stretched the spring 5 cm and release. Find the motion of the spring (y) as a function of time. Note: This phenomena can be modelled by a 2$^{nd}$ order ODE as follows: $m \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + ky = 0$

A mass hanging from a vertical spring is in simple harmonic motion as given by the following position function, where t is measured in seconds and M is in inches: s(t) = tcos(Mt) For t > 0, determine the first two times at which the velocity of the spring is zero.
