2.7* Homogeneous Linear Differential Equations with Constant Coefficients

As an introduction to this section, consider the following physical problem. A weight of mass m is attached to a vertically suspended spring that is allowed to stretch until the forces acting on the weight are in equilibrium. Suppose that the weight is now motionless and impose an xy-coordinate system with the weight at the origin and the spring lying on the positive y-axis (see Figure 2.7).

A diagram of a vertical coiled spring sits on the y axis of an x y plane. Below the spring is a solid box that is centered on the origin. — Figure 2.7

Suppose that at a certain time, say $t = 0$ , the weight is lowered a distance s along the y-axis and released. The spring then begins to oscillate.

We describe the motion ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
