A system experiences a load that starts fluctuating after 4 seconds. If the function describing load fluctuation is f(t) = sin(t), express its Laplace transform and explain the significance of transformations in engineering.
💡 Hint: Reflect on how you account for the shift when applying the transform.
Model a scenario where material is added to a structure 5 seconds after construction begins. Define the function and calculate its Laplace transform.
💡 Hint: Break down the process into defining the load before transforming.
