Dynamic system response
Given: A spring-mass-damper system is set up with the following properties: mass \( m=22.8\mathrm{~g}\), spring constant \( k=51.6\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{cm}\), and damping coefficient \( c=3.49\mathrm{~N}\cdot \mathrm{~s}/\mathrm{m}\)(\( c \) is also called \(\lambda \) in some textbooks). The forcing function is a step function (sudden jump).
(a) Calculate the damping ratio of this system. Will it oscillate?
(b) If the system will oscillate, calculate the oscillation frequency in hertz. [Note: Calculate the physical frequency, not the radian frequency.] Compare the actual oscillating frequency to the undamped natural frequency of the system.
