Consider 100 g mass hung from a spring at equilibrium (y = 0).Write the equation of oscillation, and sketch of the mass’ positiony(t) for the following situations. Be sure to correctly identifyeach function drawn.

a) Suppose the mass is displaced upward from the equilibriumposition by 10 cm and then released from this position at time t =0. A period of oscillation of 2 second was observed. Draw this onthe first graph.

(b) Suppose the mass is displaced downward by 5 cm and thenreleased from this position at time t = 0. Draw this on the samegraph. (

c) Suppose the mass is decreased to 25 g and is allowed to cometo its new equilibrium position (which we again call y = 0). It isthen displaced upward from the new equilibrium position by 10 cmand then released from this position at time t = 0. Draw this onthe second graph. (

d) Suppose you started observing the same oscillation but 0.25seconds after it was released. Draw this on the same graph.Indicate on the graph the time delay between this oscillation andthe previous one.
