Question 1 20 Marks

Study the scenario and complete the question(s) that follow:

Spring-mass damper

Spring-mass-damper systems can be found in many mechanical systems. One common example is the suspension of a car. The car itself is the mass that is
suspended by an elastic spring. A damper (the actual shock absorber) prevents oscillations. The basic schematic of a spring-mass-damper system is shown
in the above system. The equilibrium of forces requires us to consider four force components and can be modelled as:

At equilibrium the mass m of the body is given by m = 2 kg , b = 14 N-s/m and k= 12 N/m while the force f(t) is a unit step with all initial condition equal to 0.
