Chapter 5.2, Problem 13E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To analyze the system of damped harmonic oscillator using second order differential equation $\text{m}\ddot{\text{x}}\text{ + b}\dot{\text{x}}\text{ + kx = 0}$ where $\text{b}>0$ is the damping constant.

Concept Introduction:

Damped harmonic oscillator is the system in which the amplitude of oscillation decreases over time depending upon the damping factor b.
