he mechanical system shown in Figure 1 is initially at rest. The displacement x of mass m is measured from the rest position. With m = 10 kg, b = 20 N-s/m, and k = 500 N/m, the system is set into motion at t=0 by an impulsive force whose strength is 20 N. Obtain the initial velocity *(0,) of the mass due to the impulsive force.

Question

1. The mechanical system shown in Figure 1 is initially at rest. The displacement x of mass m is measured from the rest position. With m = 10 kg, b = 20 N-s/m, and k = 500 N/m, the system is set into motion at t=0 by an impulsive force whose strength is 20 N. Obtain the initial velocity *(0,) of the mass due to the impulsive force.

**Figure 1: Mechanical System Diagram**

The diagram illustrates a classic mechanical system, often referred to in physics and engineering as a mass-spring-damper system.

- **Components:**
  - **Mass (m):** Represented by a block, which is free to move horizontally along a surface with wheels.
  - **Spring (k):** Connected to the mass and a fixed wall, with a characteristic stiffness constant `k`.
  - **Damper (b):** Also connected to the mass and fixed wall, providing a damping force proportional to velocity, with damping coefficient `b`.
  - **Input Force (δ(t)):** An external force applied to the mass, indicated by an arrow on the left.

- **Additional Elements:**
  - **Position (x):** The horizontal position of the mass, measured from the wall.
  
This system is frequently used to model and analyze dynamic behavior, showing how the mass responds to forces considering both restoring forces from the spring and resistance due to the damper.
