Consider ỹ + cỷ +y = 0, and assume y(0) = 1, ÿ(0) = 0.
(a) Why is this a homogeneous system?
(b) What would change if this was to be an inhomogeneous system?
When is this inhomogeneous aspect applied - this is a technical
point, but helps us to understand that the initial condition is an
external input too, but is *only* applied at t = 0?
(c) Choose e to make this problem overdamped/critically
damped/underdamped.
(d) Follow the 3-step procedure to solve this homogeneous system
for the ho- Imogeneous solution y which we call y: Step 1: Get yh.
Step 2: Satisfy condition, and Step 3: Sketch. • Solve the
overdamped case where c is the critically damped version where c is
increased by 1 past the critically damped value. Solve the
critically damped case, • Solve the underdamped case where e is the
critically damped version where c is reduced by 1 below the
critically damped value.
