Expert-verifiedRecompute the coupled mass–spring oscillator motion in Problem 1, Exercises 5.6 (page 287), using Laplace transforms.
The differential equation of a coupled mass spring oscillator is
The mechanism in Exercises 5.6 Problem 1 is
Using the Laplace transform, we can obtain
We now have
We can get partial fractions by using partial fractions.
As a result, if we use the inverse Laplace, we get
We now have X(s):
We can get partial fractions by using partial fractions.
As a result, if we use the inverse Laplace, we get
The solution is obtained as:
