Question 1204544: An object hangs from a spring in a stable equilibrium position at a height of 5 feet, the spring is pulled 3 feet downward and the object begins to oscillate, making one complete oscillation every 4 seconds. What is a sinusodial equation of the motion of the object. Assume that the object starts at the point of equilibrium.

An object hangs from a spring in a stable equilibrium position at a height of 5 feet, the spring is pulled
3 feet downward and the object begins to oscillate, making one complete oscillation every 4 seconds.
What is a sinusodial equation of the motion of the object. Assume that the object starts at the point of equilibrium.

Two parts of this post contradict each other.

One part says that the object begins to oscillate when the springs is pulled 3 feet from equilibrium position.

Other part instructs a reader to assume that the object starts at the point of equilibrium.


I can't solve problems, where one part of the condition contradicts to other part.
