A mass weighing 6 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. The mass is attached to a dashpot device that offers a damping force numerically equal to β (β > 0) times the instantaneous velocity. Determine the values of the damping constant β so that the subsequent motion is overdamped, critically damped, and underdamped. (If an answer is an interval, use interval notation. Use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

(a) overdamped
(b) critically damped
(c) underdamped
