Suppose that the mass in a mass-spring-dashpot system with m = 10, the damping constant c = 9, and the spring constant k = 2 is set in motion with x(0) = -1/2 and x'(0) = -1/4.

(a) Find the position function x(t).

(b) Determine whether the mass passes through its equilibrium position. Sketch the graph of x(t).

A particle of mass 1 is attached to a spring dashpot mechanism. The stiffness constant of the spring is 3 N/m and the drag force exerted on the particle by the dashpot mechanism is 4 times its velocity. At time t=0, the particle is stretched 1/4 m from its equilibrium position. At time t=3 seconds, an impulsive force of very short duration is applied to the system. This force imparts an impulse of 2 N*s to the particle. Find the...
