15 In an oscillating system, a particle of mass m kg moves in a horizontal line. Its displacement from
its equilibrium position O at time t seconds is x metres, its velocity is v ms -1 , and it is acted on by
a force 2mx newtons acting towards O as shown in the diagram.

v m s–1

2mx N

Initially, the particle is projected away from O with speed 1ms -1 from a point 2 m from O in the
positive direction.

(b) The motion is now damped by a force 2mv newtons.

(ii) State, giving a reason, whether the system is under-damped, critically damped or
over-damped. [1]

(iii) Determine the general solution of this differential equation. [3]

(c) Finally, a variable force 2m cos 2t newtons is added, so that the motion is now modelled by
the differential equation
d2x dx

In the long term, the particle is seen to perform simple harmonic motion with a period of just
