Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a structure subject to a brief impulse load modeled as δ′(t). What differential equation would govern the system's response?
💡 Hint: Consider how an impulse impacts motion and the terms involved.
Suppose f(x) = sin(x). Calculate δ′(x - π/2) using the action on f(x) and interpret the result.
💡 Hint: Think about the role of sine and cosine in describing motion.
