Question 1

Given the mass m=2kg, damping c=3N·s/m, and stiffness k=15N/m, derive the equations of motion and impulse response for this SDOF system.

💡 Hint: Start by substituting the values into the motion equation.

Question 2

If the damped natural frequency is ωd = 5 rad/s, what does that say about the damping ratio in your impulse response?

💡 Hint: Connect the natural frequency and the damping ratio for analysis.
