Question

Effects of Nonconstant Coeftldents In our study of the damped mass-spring system with mass m, spring constant k, and damping constant b, we have used as our model the second­ order linear differential \(m \ddot{x}+b \dot{x}+k x=0\) having constant coefficients. coefficients change with time, the analytic solutions we have found for constant coefficients do

not work. Explain why. Then, for Problems 67-73, consider some DEs in which m, b, and k change with time.

(a) Use your intuition and/or a computer to describe the motion of the system under these changing conditions.

(b) Use a computer to draw a solution x(t) for t > 0, x(0) = 2, ?(0) = 0. HINT: When you need to avoid t = 0, try a trick like starting your plot at t = 0. 1.

(c) Discuss what followed your intuition, what did not, and what further questions you might now ask.

\(t \ddot{x}+x=0\)
