Spring (k) Given: A spring-mass-damper system is set up with the following properties: mass m = 22.8 g, spring constant k = 51.6 N/cm, and damping coefficient c = 3.49 N.s/m (c is also called A in some textbooks). The forcing function is a step function (sudden jump). To do: (a) Calculate the damping ratio of this system. Will it oscillate? (b) If the system will oscillate, calculate the oscillation frequency in hertz. (Note: Calculate the physical frequency, not the radian frequency.] Compare the actual oscillating frequency to the undamped natural frequency of the system. Damper (c) >> Mass (m) FO
