A spring-mass-damper system (damped harmonic oscillator) is constrained to move horizontally as shown below. An input force f(t) is applied to the mass. The displacement x is measured from the undeformed position of the spring and is positive when directed to the right. In previous work, the equation of motion for the system was determined mx¨+bx?+kx=f(t) The mass is m=9kg, the damping coefficient is b=99N?s/m and the spring constant is k=252N/m. The system has initial conditions x(0)=5m and x(0)=45m/s and the input is zero: f(t)=0 Save your answer offline because you will be asked to plot and analyze your solution in MATLAB in the following nodes. Find the system response x(t) using Laplace transforms and enter it below. Use fractional form for your answers. Units are given.
