Consider the mass–spring–damper system in Figure 14.1.
Figure 14.1. (a) Spring–mass–damper system. (b) Damper cross section.
If
then the spring is neither compressed nor stretched, which is to say the spring is relaxed. The force on the mass
due to the spring is
Note that if
the spring is pulling
to the left while if
the spring is pushing
to the right. The damper (dashpot) is illustrated in more detail on Figure 14.1b. The force of the damper on
is proportional to its velocity and is given by
Note that if then the mass along with the ...
