Ive got this problem to do and could really use some help. here it is.
Problem: A 1000kg mass is dropped from 10.0m onto a massless plank supported with a spring dashpot system.(the dashpot provides damping) The spring has a constant k and the dashpot characterized by damping constant b. It is desired that the mass drops on to the plank resulting in the system settling at a new equilibrium 0.20cm lower than the initial position as quickly as possible without overshooting this equilibrium.
Thanks
