Figure 1: Mass-Spring-Damper System
Mass-Spring-Damper System is given in Figure 1. We will assume that the input
of the system is the external force (f(t)), and the output is the position of the
mass (x(t)).
Parameter Values of the System:
(m) mass 50 kg
(k) spring constant 30 N/m
(c) damping coefficient 10 N*s/m
Assignment Procedure Section
1) Find the system equations with unknown parameters (without using the
parameter values above) on paper by hand.
2) Find the transfer function of the system with unknown parameters
(without using the parameter values above) on paper by hand.
3) Show the transfer function of the system in MATLAB using the parameter
values above.
4) Find the state-space representation of the system with unknown
parameters (without using the parameter values above) on paper by hand.
