Given a mass of 5kg, a spring constant of 300 N/m, and a damping coefficient of 20 Ns/m, derive the equation of motion for this mass-spring-damper system when a force of F(t) = 50sin(2t) is applied.
💡 Hint: Start by using Newton's second law to relate the mass, damping, and spring forces.
How will the oscillation frequency change if the damping coefficient is reduced from 20 Ns/m to 5 Ns/m while keeping the mass and spring constant the same?
💡 Hint: Consider how damping affects the oscillation period and frequency.
