An 8-lb weight is attached to the lower end of a coil springsuspended from a fixed support. The weight comes to rest in itsequilibrium position, thereby stretching the spring 6 in. Theweight is then pulled down 9 in. below its equilibrium position andreleased at t=0. The medium offers a resistance in poundsnumerically equal to 4x', where x' is the instantaneous velocity infeet per second. Determine the displacement of the weight as afunction of the time.

Please be clear with how you arrive to the answer, I have a quizcoming up and want to make sure I do this correctly! Thank you verymuch
