Question
Imagine that a block of mass 1 kg is attached to a ceiling by a spring with constant 5 kg/s? and
a damper with constant 2 kg/s, and subjected to a force f(t), measured in Newtons (that is
kgm/s²). Then its displacement from equilibrium in meters obey the equation
dx
+ 2-
+ 5x = f(t).
dt
dt2
Let f(t) = 3 eat and let initial conditions x(0) = x'(0) = 1. Solve the DE for a = -2, and a = 2.
