Consider the mass–spring–damper system in Figure 14.1.

Schematic illustration of (a) Spring-mass-damper system. (b) Damper cross section.

Figure 14.1. (a) Spring–mass–damper system. (b) Damper cross section.

If images then the spring is neither compressed nor stretched, which is to say the spring is relaxed. The force on the mass images due to the spring is

equation

Note that if images the spring is pulling images to the left while if images the spring is pushing images to the right. The damper (dashpot) is illustrated in more detail on Figure 14.1b. The force of the damper on images is proportional to its velocity and is given by

Note that if then the mass along with the ...
