Chapter 2 Problem 2.4.9

Question

Derive Eq. (5) describing the motion of a mass attached to the bottom of a vertically suspended spring. (Suggestion: First denote by x(t) the displacement of the mass below the unstretched position of the spring; set up the differential equation for x. Then substitute y = x - Xo in this differential equation.)

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Derive Eq. (5) describing the motion of a mass attached to the bottom of a vertically suspended spring. (Suggestion: First denote by x(t) the displacement of the mass below the unstretched position of the spring; set up the differential equation for x. Then substitute y = x - Xo in this differential equation.)
From the textbook chapter Linear Equations of Higher Order you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
