Spring Constant Question...please help!
Hello .I have an annoying question here...A 9 kg mass attached to a spring with spring constant 4 N/m. At time t=0 and external force F(t)=10sin(3t) N is applied to the mass. The damping coefficient for the system equals 12 N-sec/m.
NOTE: If y(t) represents the deviation at time t of the mass from the equilibrium position then y(0)=0 and y'(0)=01) Determine if the system is over damped, critically damped, or under damped
2) find the displacement y(t) of the mass at time t
3) Identify the transient solution and the steady state solutionI've stared at this for a while now and I have no idea what to do...I know it's critically damped but I can't figure out the displacement.
