A mass of 1 slug is attached to a spring whose constant is 9 lb/ft. The medium offers a resistance to the motion numerically equal to 6 times the instantaneous velocity. The mass is released from a point 8 in. above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of $v_{0}$ ft/s. Determine the values of $v_{0}$ such that the mass will subsequently pass through the equilibrium position.
