Magnitude of the mechanical components chosen from Table 1:



Mass,

m2 = 4 kg

Spring Compliance (Reciprocal of Spring Constant K),
k1 = 2000 N/m
k2 = 4000 N/m
k3 = 4000 N/m

c1 = 30 kg/s
c2 = 10 kg/s

Please note that no force is shown on the mechanical system.

Considering ForceVoltage analogy between the Mechanical and Electrical systems,

Force (f) = Voltage (v)
Velocity (u) = Current (i)
Displacement (x) = Charge (q)
Inductor = Mass
L1 = m1
L2 = m2
Capacitor = Spring Constant (reciprocal of spring Compliance)
C1 = 1/k1
C2 = 1/k2
C3 = 1/k3

Resistor = Dashpot Damping Co-efficient
R1 = c1
R2 = c2
R3 = c3
