In a spring-mass-dashpot system, a force of 1 Newtons is required to stretch the spring for .05 meters. A mass of 4 kg is hung from the spring and also attached to a viscous damper that has a damping constant 8 Newton-sec/m. The mass is suddenly set in motion from its equilibrium location at t = 0 by an external force of 8 cost Newtons with initial velocity 0 m/sec. Find the transient solution and the steady state solution of the system.
