A mass is attached to both a spring with spring constant and a dash-pot with damping constant . The mass is started in motion with initial position and initial velocity . Determine the position function in meters. Note that, in this problem, the motion of the spring is underdamped, therefore the solution can be written in the form . Determine and . Graph the function together with the "amplitude envelope" curves and . Now assume the mass is set in motion with the same initial position and velocity, but with the dashpot disconnected ( so ). Solve the resulting differential equation to find the position function . In this case the position function can be written as . Determine and . Finally, graph both function and in the same window to illustrate the effect of damping.
