Question: 3 - 6 ( 1 0 pts ) A mass is added to the system, as shown above; it's initial velocity is v m (

3-6(10 pts) A mass is added to the system, as shown above; it's initial velocity is vm(t)=0(m)(s). Derive a second-order linear differential equation to describe the position of the spring with applied force F(t).
3-7(5 pts) Given that k=2000Nm,b=1200N-sm,m=200kg, and F=4000N, determine the particular solutions to the spring position, xs(t), and mass velocity vm(t).
3-8(5 pts) Provide equations which describe: (1) the energy stored in the spring as a function of time U(t) and (2) the kinetic energy of the mass as a function of time K(t).
3-9(30pts Simulate System A for 8 seconds with a timestep dt=0.01 seconds using the forward Euler method in MATLAB:
a) Plot the position x(t) calculated by Euler's method and the position function found in part 3-7 on the same graph (Euler's in red, Analytical Solution in blue)
b) Determine the total work done by the damper as a function of time, W(t), and the work done by the external force FW(t).
c) Produce a graph with 4plots; U(t),K(t),W(t),FW(t)
d) Which did more work: the damper or the input force? Does that result make sense? (Answer in one to two sentences).
