A 1/2 kg mass is attached to a spring with 20 N/m. The damping constant for the system is 6 N-sec/m. If the mass is moved 12/5 m to the left of equilibrium and given an initial rightward velocity of 62/5 m/sec, determine the equation of motion of the mass and give its damping factor, quasiperiod, and quasifrequency.
What is the equation of motion?
y(t)=
The damping factor is:
The quasiperiod is:
The quasifrequency is:
The quasi frequency is just the frequency at which the cosine
and sine functions
appearing in the formula for y(t) oscillate. So it is 2 Hz
Hence, The quasi period is 2π/2
