Consider the spring mass damper system shown below. k m x(t) The forces of the spring and damper are represented by Fspring = -kx and Fdamper = -bx' respectively, where k is the spring constant and b is the damping coefficient. The mass has an initial displacement +1 m and velocity 0 m/s. 1. Use Newton's 2nd Law of Motion to derive an ODE to describe the mass's motion. 2.

1. Verify Eqs. 1 through 5. Figure 1: mass spring damper In class, we have studied mechanical systems of this type. Here, the main results of our in-class analysis are reviewed. The dynamic behavior of this system is deter- mined from the linear second-order ordinary differential equation: where (1) where r(t) is the displacement of the mass, m is the mass, b is the damping coefficient, and k is the spring stiffness. Equations like Eq. 1 are often written in the "standard form" ď²x dt2 r(t) = = tan-1 d²r dt2 m. M +25wn +wn²x = 0 (2) The variable wn is the natural frequency of the system and is the damping ratio. If the system is underdamped, i.e. < < 1, and it has initial conditions (0) = zot-o = 0, then the solution to Eq. 2 is given by: IO √1 x(1) T₁ = +b+kr = 0 dt 2π dr. dt ل لها -(wat sin (wat +) and is the damped natural frequency.

2. Consider a car suspension, modeled as a mass/spring/damper system (mass m, stiffness k, damping b). Suppose the height of the chassis is lo at rest, the height of the terrain below the driver varies as h(t), and the height of the chassis is denoted lo + y(t).

1. Suppose you are riding your bicycle on a bumpy road having a surface profile that varies harmonically with +/- 6 cm undulations. The distance between consecutive peaks of these undulations is 2 m. When you sit on the seat of your bike for your casual ride, the springs deflect 5 cm. When you are seated, the damper under the seat provides an equivalent linear viscous damping of 10% of the critical damping. A simple representation of your ride on the "never-ending" rough road is shown below. (a) If you are riding your bicycle at a horizontal speed of 2.5 m/sec, how much bumping up and down will you experience? (b) Next day, you are carrying a backpack which increases your on-seat weight by 20%. Assuming that you are still able to ride with same speed, will this "loaded" ride be more or less comfortable than your previous, "no backpack" ride? M k/23 k/2 6 cm 2 m
Suppose a spring with spring constant 7 N/m is horizontal and has one end attached to a wall and the other end attached to a 2 kg mass. Suppose that the friction of the mass with the floor (i.e., the damping constant) is 1 N⋅s/m a) Set up a differential equation that describes this system. Let x to denote the displacement, in meters, of the mass from its equilibrium position, and give your answer in terms of x,x′,x′′. Assume that positive displacement means the mass is farther from the wall than when the system is at equilibrium. b) Find the general solution to your differential equation from the previous part. Use c1 and c2 to denote arbitrary constants. Use t for independent variable to represent the time elapsed in seconds. Your answer should be an equation of the form x=… c) Enter a value for the damping constant that would make the system critically damped. ?Ns/m
