Question: Consider a mass m attached to a linear dashpot with constant c and a nonlinear spring that exhibits the following response F = x 3

Consider a mass m attached to a linear dashpot with constant c and a nonlinear spring that exhibits the following response F=x3-x(recall the spring force resists motion). The mass is driven by a sinusoidal driver F(t)=cos(t), where is the driving frequency.
Describe the qualitative behavior of the spring as it depends upon the parameter .
Set m=1,c=0.3 and =1. Derive the equation of motion for this oscillator.
Numerical solution. Fix the driving frequency =1.25 and initial condition x(0)=1,x(0)=0 and investigate the role of forcing amplitude . Plot the (a) numerical solution and (b) phase portrait (x vs.x) over a long time period tin[0,400]. This allows any transient solutions to sufficiently decay. Describe the solution.
(a)=0.2
(b)=0.3
(c)=0.315
(d)=0.37
(e)=0.5
(f)=0.8
