Problem 9.63
The block of mass
m
is coupled to the support
A
, which is displacing
harmonically according to
yDYsin !0t
, by the linear elastic spring
with constant kand the dashpot with constant c.
(a)
Derive its equation of motion, using
x
as the independent variable,
and explain in what way the resulting equation of motion is not in
the form of Eq. (9.65).
(b)
Next, let
´Dxy
and substitute it into the equation of motion
found in Part (a). After doing so, show that you obtain an equation
of motion in ´that is of the same form as Eq. (9.65).
(c)
Find the steady-state solution to the equation of motion found in
Part (b) and then using that, determine the steady-state solution for
x.
