A mass of 5kg is attached to a spring of stiffness 200 N/m and a damper of 50 Ns/m. Determine the system's natural frequency and damping ratio.
💡 Hint: Use the formulas for natural frequency and damping ratio based on spring and mass characteristics.
Given a step input of 10 N for the Mass-Spring-Damper system discussed, determine the response of the system using the transfer function.
💡 Hint: Think about how step responses relate to transfer functions.
