Hi BvU,
Apologies about the template, I will not post without a template again.
My notation there was a little careless, I did not mean to label K and B as forces, I was trying to imply that there is a force acting on mass m1 due to both the spring and the damper.
Spring: k.x1
Damper...
I have attached an image of a question I am trying to do, I want to find the differential equations that describe the second order system in the image.
I know for a spring, potential energy = 1/2.K.x (where k is the spring constant, and x is the distance the spring is stretched).
I know that...
