    Critically damped oscillator: Classical mechanics help

    I think I solved it... you're on the right track. Solve for x(t) in terms of gamma, w, Xo and Vo, then make x(t)=0 and solve for Vo. Next, derive V(t) by taking dx/dt (remember to include initial conditions!). Take the limit as t goes to inf of V(t), and substitute terms so that you're left with...
