Olivia places her pet frog on a line to observe the frog’s motion. The line is divided into sections that measure 1 centimeter each. The frog begins at 0, moves 18 centimeters forward, moves 6 centimeters backward, and then 12 centimeters backward.

Amass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. initially, the mass is released from rest from a point 8 inches below the equilibrium position. find the equation of motion. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)
