Get started for freeUse the annihilator method to show that ifin (4) has the form
then equation (4) has a particular solution of the form
(18) ,where sis chosen to be the smallest nonnegative integer such thatandare not solutions to the corresponding homogeneous equation
On a smooth horizontal surface, a mass of m1 kg isattached to a fixed wall by a spring with spring constantk1 N/m. Another mass of m2 kg is attached to thefirst object by a spring with spring constant k2 N/m. Theobjects are aligned horizontally so that the springs aretheir natural lengths. As we showed in Section 5.6, thiscoupled mass–spring system is governed by the systemof differential equations
Let’s assume that m1 = m2 = 1, k1 = 3, and k2 = 2.If both objects are displaced 1 m to the right of theirequilibrium positions (compare Figure 5.26, page 283)and then released, determine the equations of motion forthe objects as follows:
(a)Show that x(2) satisfies the equation
(b) Find a general solution x(2) to (36).
(c) Substitute x(2) back into (34) to obtain a generalsolution for y(2)
(d) Use the initial conditions to determine the solutions,x(2) and y(2), which are the equations of motion.
(a) Derive the form for the general solution to the equation , from the observation that the fourth roots of unity are 1, -1, i, and -i.
(b) Derive the form
for the general solution to the equation from the observation that the cube roots of unity are 1, , and .
