Question: Problem 1 ( 3 5 points ) A spring - mass - damper system is described by the following parameters: Mass, ( m ) =

Problem 1(35 points )
A spring-mass-damper system is described by the following parameters:
Mass, (m)=1kg
Damping coefficient, (c)=4Nsm
Spring constant, (k)=5Nm
External force, Fext(t)=cos(2t)
a) Derive the differential equation that describes the motion of the mass-spring-damper system. Show every step of the process. Then, obtain the transfer function between F(t) and x(t).(5 points)
b) Obtain the response of the system, x(t).(15 points)
Hint :
When applying the Laplace transform to cos(2t) the resulting expression can be decomposed using partial fractions that involve complex numbers.
You don't need to include the solution steps for calculating the coefficients.
c) Create a Simulink model of the spring-mass-damper (do not use the obtained TF in part a). Simulate the system response for the given external force cos(2t) for a simulation time of 20 seconds. Plot the displacement x(t) over time.
d) Re-run the simulation for the damping coefficient values of c=1Nsm and c=16Nsm. Compare the results with the original simulation.
(Plot Simulink combined 3 graphs. c and d totally 5 points. Hand-drawn graphs will not be accepted.)
e) Create a comparison chart that shows how the system's behavior changes at steady state (that is, after the transient phase of the oscillations are completed and system oscillates at steady state) Focus on the following parameters: (10 points)
\table[[Parameter,c=1Nsm,c=4Nsm,c=16Nsm,Comparison/Observation],[Oscillation,,,,How does the peak displacement change?],[Amplitude,,,,Compare the frequency of oscillations.],[Frequency,,,,How does the phase behavior change?],[Phase Difference,,,,]]
