Christine is trying to find the solution of the following problem :

A mass of 8 grams moves on the x-axis and is attracted towards the origin O with a force numerically equal to 800 x. If it rests initially at the position x=11, find its position at time t. Consider the damping force numerically equal to 160 times the instantaneous velocity.

Christine may have made a mistake.

Please input the line number where the mistake is, or input 0 if there is no mistake.

Please input the your confidence about the answer according to the following scale:
1=I am very unsure
2=I am not quite sure
3=I am absolutely sure

SOLUTION

The equation of motion is obtained as 

line 1 ...  x′′+20x+100x=0

Taking the Laplace transform:

[x′′]+20[x]+100[x]=0

Writing [x]=x¯

line 2 ...  s2x¯-sx(0)-x(0)+20(sx¯-x(0))+100x¯=0

line 3 ...  x¯=11s+10+110(s+10)2

Taking the Laplace inverse:

line 4 ...  x=11e10t+110te10t

The error is in line .............

The level of my confidence is.............
