Question

Consider the mechanical system shown in Figure 5-30, where m = 1 kg, b = 3 N-sec/m, and k = 2 N/m. Assume that at t = 0 the mass m is pulled downward such that x(0) = 0.1 m and ?(0) = 0.05 m/sec. The displacement x(t) is measured from the equilibrium position before the mass is pulled down. Obtain the motion of the mass subjected to the initial condition. (Assume no external forcing function.) Figure 5-30

Step 1

The mass (m) is 1 kg, the damping coefficient (b) is 3 N-sec/m, and the spring constant (k) is 2 N/m. The initial conditions are that the mass is displaced by 0.1 m (x0 = 0.1 m) and has an initial velocity of 0.05 m/sec (v0 = 0.05 m/sec). Step 2: Write the Show more…
