3 A mass m is attached to an elastic cord model as a spring

3 A mass m is attached to an elastic cord model as a spring with spring constant k and placed on a ramp that makes an angle with the ground The equilibrium length of the cord is lo when there is the mass m attached Assume the ramp is frictionless but that there is linear air drag Assume that the system is overdamped The mass starts from the equilibrium position i e the length of the cord starts at lo and has an initial velocity of Vo What is the position of the mass as a function of time If you wait a very long time what will the final position of the mass be
