10 Find the particular solution of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } x } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 0.16 \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 0.0064 x = 8.64 + 0.32 t$$ given that when \(t = 0 , x = 0\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } = 0\). Show that, for large positive \(t , \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } \approx 50\).
