A 1-kilogram mass is attached to a spring whose constant is $16 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$, and the entire system is then submerged in a liquid that imparts a darnping force numerically equal to 10 times the instantaneous velocity. Determine the equations of motion if (a) the mass is initially released from rest from a point 1 meter below the equilibrium position, and then (b) the mass is initially released from a point 1 meter below the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of $12 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

Key Concepts

Mass-Spring-Damper System

This concept involves a mass attached to a spring and a damping element, which together model systems where restoring forces (due to the spring) and resistive forces (due to damping) act on a mass. Such systems are common in mechanical and electrical engineering for modeling oscillatory behavior with energy loss.

Damped Harmonic Motion

Damped harmonic motion describes the oscillatory movement of a system that experiences a damping force, typically proportional to the velocity. This causes the amplitude of oscillation to decrease over time, and the behavior can range from underdamped to overdamped, depending on the magnitude of the damping relative to the natural frequency.

Second Order Linear Differential Equations

The equations of motion for the mass-spring-damper system are modeled by a second order linear ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients. This form is crucial for understanding oscillatory systems since it allows the use of standard techniques such as the characteristic equation to analyze system behavior.

Initial Value Problem

An initial value problem (IVP) specifies the state of the system at the beginning of the time period (initial position and velocity conditions). In the context of differential equations, these conditions are essential for determining the unique evolution of the system over time.

Characteristic Equation and Its Roots

To solve the second order differential equation that models the system, the characteristic equation is derived by assuming exponential solutions. The nature of its roots (real or complex) determines if the system is underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped, which in turn dictates the form of the general solution for the motion.
