Question: Plot the response ( left ( x _ { 1 } right . ) and ( left . x

Plot the response \(\left(x_{1}\right.\) and \(\left.x_{2}\right)\) of the system shown below if the 6 kg mass is given an initial displacement of 10 mm (to the right), and at the same the 4 kg mass is given an initial velocity of \(20\mathrm{~mm}/\mathrm{s}\)(to the right). Furthermore, explain clearly how the damper value (which is shown in the figure as \(400\mathrm{Ns}/\mathrm{m}\)) affects the response. Obtain the value of the damper (in the units \(\mathrm{Ns}/\mathrm{m}\)) that would decrease the peak displacement of the 6 kg mass to 1 mm after its own 4 oscillations from the initial disturbance.
