Question: Problems 24 through 34 deal with a massspringdashpot system having position function x(t) satisfying Eq. (4). We write x 0 = x(0) and v 0

Problems 24 through 34 deal with a mass–spring–dashpot system having position function x(t) satisfying Eq. (4). We write x0 = x(0) and v0 = x'(0) and recall that

p = c/(2m), w = k/m, and w=w2 - p.

The system is critically damped, overdamped, or underdamped, as specified in each problem.

Show that the local maxima and minima of 

occur where

Conclude that t2 - t1 = 2π/ω1 if two consecutive maxima occur at times t1 and t2.

p = c/(2m), w = k/m, and w=w2 - p.
