Question:
The following differential equation was used in Sec. 8.4 to analyze the vibrations of an automobile shock absorber:
1.25 x 106 d2x/dt2 + 1 x 107 dx/dt + 1.5 x 109x = 0
Transform this equation into a pair of ODEs.
(a) Use MATLAB to solve these equations from t = 0 to 0.4 for the case where x = 0.5, and dx/dt = 0 at t = 0.
(b) Use MATLAB to determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the system.
