A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring whose constant is 6 N/m, and the entire system is submerged in a liquid that imparts a damping force equal to 2 times the instantaneous velocity. (a) Write the second-order linear differential equation to model the motion. (b) Convert the second-order linear differential equation from part (a) to a first-order linear system. (c) Classify the critical (equilibrium) point (0,0). (d) Sketch the phase portrait.
