c. sum

d. term

Answer to Problem 1CV

Solution:

If a sequence {sn} converges to L, we call L the limit of the sequence.

Explanation of Solution

In general, the notation limn  sn = L is used to mean that as n gets larger and larger, the terms of the sequence {sn} get closer and closer to the number L. In such a case, the sequence is said to converge to L, and L is called the limit of the sequence.

5. Suppose that a mass of 5 stretches a spring 10. The mass is acted on by an external force of F(t)=10 sin () and moves in a medium that gives a damping coefficient of ½. If the mass is set in motion with an initial velocity of 3 and is stretched initially to a length of 5. (I purposefully removed the units- don't worry about them. Assume no conversions are needed.) a) Find the equation for the displacement of the spring mass at time t. b) Write the equation for the displacement of the spring mass in phase-mode form. c) Characterize the damping of the spring mass system as overdamped, underdamped or critically damped. Explain how you know. D.E. for Spring Mass Systems k m* g = kLo y" +—y' + — —±y = —±F(t), y(0) = yo, y'(0) = vo m 2 A₁ = √c₁² + C₂² Q = tan-1
