Textbook Solutions for Elementary Differential Equations

Chapter 2 Problem 2.4.34

Question

24 through 34 deal with a mass-spring-dashpot system having position function x(t) satisfying Eq. (4). We write Xo = x(O) and Vo = x'(O) and recall that p = c/(2m), w5 = kim, and wr = w5 - p2. The system is critically damped, overdamped, or under damped, as specified in each problem. (Underdamped) A body weighing 100 Ib (mass m =3. 1 25 slugs in fps units) is oscillating attached to a spring and a dashpot. Its first two maximum displacements of 6.73 in. and 1 .46 in. are observed to occur at times 0.34 s and 1.17 s, respectively. Compute the damping constant (in pound-seconds per foot) and spring constant (in pounds per foot).

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 34 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 24 through 34 deal with a mass-spring-dashpot system having position function x(t) satisfying Eq. (4). We write Xo = x(O) and Vo = x'(O) and recall that p = c/(2m), w5 = kim, and wr = w5 - p2. The system is critically damped, overdamped, or under damped, as specified in each problem. (Underdamped) A body weighing 100 Ib (mass m =3. 1 25 slugs in fps units) is oscillating attached to a spring and a dashpot. Its first two maximum displacements of 6.73 in. and 1 .46 in. are observed to occur at times 0.34 s and 1.17 s, respectively. Compute the damping constant (in pound-seconds per foot) and spring constant (in pounds per foot).
From the textbook chapter Linear Equations of Higher Order you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
