Question: Problem 1 . [ 5 0 Points ] . The following figure shows a SDOF dynamic system with the weight w = 1 0 0

Problem 1.[50 Points]. The following figure shows a SDOF dynamic system with the weight w=100lb, natural period Tn=1.0sec and the critical damping ratio n=5%. This system is subjected to the pulse force P(t).
For this dynamic system, perform the following tasks:
(a) Find the displacement response for P=P1(t) for td=Tn and P0=50 Kips. [10 Points]
(b) Find the displacement response for P=P2(t) for tt=Tn and P0=50 Kips. [10 Points]
(c) Use MATLAB (or similar plotting tools) to plot the displacement responses in (a) and (b) and compare the maximum displacements for the two cases with td=Tn and td=0.1Tn. Discuss your observations. [30 Points]
