Under-Damped Mass-Spring System on an Incline
Part 1 - Use Laplace Transformations
Problem Statement
Find the equation of motion for the mass in the system subjected to the forces shown in the Free Body Diagram (FBD). The inclined surface is coated in SAE 30 oil.
Initial Conditions and Values
- A is the area of the box in contact with the surface
- g is the gravitational acceleration field constant
- bt is the thickness of the fluid covering the inclined surface
- μ is the viscosity constant of the fluid;
- m is the mass of the box
- k is the spring constant
