A rock with mass m = 3.60 kg falls from rest in a viscous medium. The rock is acted on by a net constant downward force of F = 15.0 N (a combination of gravity and the buoyant force exerted by the medium) and by a fluid resistance force f=kv, where v is the speed in m/s and k = 2.68 N*s/m. (a) Find the initial acceleration a0 (b) Find the acceleration when the speed is 3.60 m/s.
