:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x_2}=\dot{x_2}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==State Equations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix} &lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;1&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\frac{(k_1-k_2)}{m_1}&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;\frac{-k_1}{m_1}&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\frac{k_1}{m_2}&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;\frac{(k_1+k_2)}{m_2}&amp;amp;0 &lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
x_1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x}_1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
x_2 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x}_2&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;

\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0\\&lt;br /&gt;
0\\&lt;br /&gt;
0\\ &lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;With the numbers...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix} &lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;1&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\frac{(-50 N/m)}{10 kg}&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;\frac{-25 N/m}{10 kg}&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\frac{25 N/m}{10 kg}&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;\frac{(100 N/m)}{10 kg}&amp;amp;0 &lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
x_1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x}_1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
x_2 \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x}_2&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=- 2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.0520 \\-0.1609 \\-0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{-3.0937}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.4176i \\-0.8928\\- 0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2.1380i}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}- 0.4176i \\-0.8928\\0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{- 2.1380i}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-0.0520 \\-0.1609\\0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{3.0937}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 &amp;amp; 0.4176i &amp;amp; - 0.4176i &amp;amp; -0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 &amp;amp; - 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.2914 &amp;amp; 0.0943 &amp;amp; -1.6996 &amp;amp; 0.5493 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 1.2337i &amp;amp; -0.5770 &amp;amp; - 0.2117i &amp;amp; -0.0990 \\&lt;br /&gt;
1.2335i &amp;amp; -0.5770 &amp;amp; 0.2116i &amp;amp; -0.0990 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.2914 &amp;amp; 0.0943 &amp;amp; 1.6996 &amp;amp; 0.5493&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So taking&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We get the uncoupled matrix of&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-3.0937 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; - 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 3.0937&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=- 2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.0520 \\-0.1609 \\-0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{-3.0937}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.4176i \\-0.8928\\- 0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2.1380i}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}- 0.4176i \\-0.8928\\0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{- 2.1380i}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-0.0520 \\-0.1609\\0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{3.0937}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 &amp;amp; 0.4176i &amp;amp; - 0.4176i &amp;amp; -0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 &amp;amp; - 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.2914 &amp;amp; 0.0943 &amp;amp; -1.6996 &amp;amp; 0.5493 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 1.2337i &amp;amp; -0.5770 &amp;amp; - 0.2117i &amp;amp; -0.0990 \\&lt;br /&gt;
1.2335i &amp;amp; -0.5770 &amp;amp; 0.2116i &amp;amp; -0.0990 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.2914 &amp;amp; 0.0943 &amp;amp; 1.6996 &amp;amp; 0.5493&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So taking&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We get the uncoupled matrix of&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-3.0937 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; - 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 3.0937&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=- 2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.0520 \\-0.1609 \\-0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{-3.0937}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.4176i \\-0.8928\\- 0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2.1380i}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}- 0.4176i \\-0.8928\\0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{- 2.1380i}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-0.0520 \\-0.1609\\0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{3.0937}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 &amp;amp; 0.4176i &amp;amp; - 0.4176i &amp;amp; -0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.8928 &amp;amp; -0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 &amp;amp; - 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.0716i &amp;amp; 0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.1532 &amp;amp; 0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So taking&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We get the uncoupled matrix of&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-3.0937 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; - 2.1380i &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 3.0937&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;

-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.0520 \\-0.1609 \\-0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{-3.0937}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0.4176i \\-0.8928\\- 0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2.1380i}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}- 0.4176i \\-0.8928\\0.0716i\\0.1532\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{- 2.1380i}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-0.0520 \\-0.1609\\0.3031\\0.9378\end{bmatrix}\,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{3.0937}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;

\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;

2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;

0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;With the numbers...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0&amp;amp;1&amp;amp;0&amp;amp;0 \\&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=- 2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
- 0.4176i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.8928 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.0716i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.1532&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-0.0520 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.1609 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.3031 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.9378&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0\sqrt{0}}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=-3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=- 2.1380i,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=3.0937,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0\sqrt{0}}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==So then the answer is...==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We can now plug these eigen vectors and eigen values into the standard equation&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;x=c_1k_1e^{\lambda_1 t}+c_2k_2e^{\lambda_2 t}+c_3k_3e^{\lambda_3 t}+c_4k_4e^{\lambda_4 t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0\sqrt{0}}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}0 \\0\sqrt(0) \\0 \\0\sqrt(0)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{0*0\sqrt{0}}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;

\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;So then the answer is...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So then the answer is...&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\ x=c_1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-1 \\-2\sqrt(10) \\1 \\2\sqrt(10)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2\sqrt{10}}+ c_2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}-1 \\2\sqrt(10) \\1 \\-2\sqrt(10)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{2*-2\sqrt{10}}+ c_3&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}1 \\2\sqrt(5) \\1 \\2\sqrt(5)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{3*2\sqrt{5}}+ c_4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}1 \\-2\sqrt(5) \\1 \\-2\sqrt(5)\end{bmatrix}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;e^{4*-2\sqrt{5}}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;

\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;So from the above equation we get this to prove the matrix exponetial works.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into MATLAB which will give you the eigen values automatically.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section we will use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem. First we start with this identity.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into a calculator or a computer program that will give you the eigen values automatically. This saves you a lot of hand work. Here&#039;s what you should come up with for this particular problem given these initial conditions.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything into MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section we will use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem. First we start with this identity.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything to a calculator or computer program like MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section we will use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem. First we start with this identity.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into a calculator or a computer program that will give you the eigen values automatically. This saves you a lot of hand work. Here&#039;s what you should come up with for this particular problem given these initial conditions.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;We now have&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;From this we get&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything to a calculator or computer program like MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;

0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;

0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into a calculator or a computer program that will give you the eigen values automatically. This saves you a lot of hand work. Here&#039;s what you should come up with for this particular problem given these initial conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We now have&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From this we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything to a calculator or computer program like MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section we will use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem. First we start with this identity.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We now have&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
+&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From this we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_1=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_2=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_3=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_4=\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Eigen Vectors ==&lt;br /&gt;
Using the equation above and the same given conditions we can plug everything to a calculator or computer program like MATLAB and get the eigen vectors which we will denote as &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1,k_2,k_3,k_4\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_3=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_4=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Matrix Exponential ==&lt;br /&gt;
In this section we will use matrix exponentials to solve the same problem. First we start with this identity.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;z=Tx\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This can be rearranged by multiplying the inverse of T to the left side of the equation.&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}z=x\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we can use another identity that we already know&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}=Ax&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Combining the two equations we then get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}\dot{z}=AT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Multiplying both sides of the equation on the left by T we get&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{z}=TAT^{-1}z&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also know what T equals and we can solve it for our case&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=[k_1|k_2|k_3|k_4]\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T^{-1}=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0.2149i &amp;amp; -0.2149i &amp;amp; -0.3500i &amp;amp; 0.3500i \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.5722 &amp;amp; -0.5722 &amp;amp; 0.4157 &amp;amp; 0.4157 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.2783i &amp;amp; 0.2783i &amp;amp; -0.5407i &amp;amp; 0.5407i \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.7409 &amp;amp; 0.7409 &amp;amp; 0.6421 &amp;amp; 0.6421&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking the inverse of this we can solve for T&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;T=\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
-1.2657i &amp;amp; -0.4753 &amp;amp; 0.8193i &amp;amp; 0.3077 \\&lt;br /&gt;
1.2657i &amp;amp; -0.4753 &amp;amp; -0.8193i &amp;amp; 0.3077 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0.6514i &amp;amp; 0.5484 &amp;amp; 0.5031i &amp;amp; 0.4236 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-0.6514i &amp;amp; 0.5484 &amp;amp; -0.5031 &amp;amp; 0.4236&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into a calculator or a computer program that will give you the eigen values automatically. This saves you a lot of hand work. Here&#039;s what you should come up with for this particular problem given these initial conditions.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Given&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_1=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m_2=10kg\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_1=25\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;k_2=50\,{N\over {m}}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We now have&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_2} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\ddot{x_2}&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
=&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 1 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
-5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; -2.5 &amp;amp; 0 \\&lt;br /&gt;
0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 1 \\&lt;br /&gt;
2.5 &amp;amp; 0 &amp;amp; 10 &amp;amp; 0&lt;br /&gt;
\end{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
\begin{bmatrix}&lt;br /&gt;
{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;
\dot{x_1} \\&lt;br /&gt;

== Eigen Values ==&lt;br /&gt;
Once you have your equations of equilibrium in matrix form you can plug them into a calculator or a computer program that will give you the eigen values automatically. This saves you a lot of hand work. Here&#039;s what you should come up with for this particular problem given these initial conditions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bode Plot of the transfer function==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer Function===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bode Plot===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This plot is done using the control toolbox in MatLab. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Break Points==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Find the Break points using the transfer function.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer fucntion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The equation above contains break points but only in the denominator.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {There is only the variable s in the denominator so only those types of break point exist}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The break points are asymtotes at the point -2 which occurs twice in this particular equation}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Convolution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The convolution equation is as follows:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {x(t_0) \, h(t-t_0) \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {It does basically the same thing as the Laplace Transform.  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {To start we must inverse transform our transfer function   }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yields:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Then we put this into the convolution integral:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {-4(t-t_0)e^{-2t-t_0} \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yeilds:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=(-cte^{-2t})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Not exactly the same but remember initial conditions arnt used}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==State Space==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bode Plot of the transfer function==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer Function===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bode Plot===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This plot is done using the control toolbox in MatLab. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==______________________________Break Points__________________________________==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Find the Break points using the transfer function.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer fucntion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The equation above contains break points but only in the denominator.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {There is only the variable s in the denominator so only those types of break point exist}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The break points are asymtotes at the point -2 which occurs twice in this particular equation}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Convolution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The convolution equation is as follows:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {x(t_0) \, h(t-t_0) \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {It does basically the same thing as the Laplace Transform.  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {To start we must inverse transform our transfer function   }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yields:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Then we put this into the convolution integral:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {-4(t-t_0)e^{-2t-t_0} \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yeilds:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=(-cte^{-2t})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Not exactly the same but remember initial conditions arnt used}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==State Space==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Using state equatons is just another way to solve a system modeled by an ODE }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {First we need to add an applied force so u(t)=2N  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98.1}{9.81}=10 kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              &lt;br /&gt;

The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The equation above contains break points but only in the denominator.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {There is only the variable s in the denominator so only those types of break point exist}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The break points are asymtotes at the point -2 which occurs twice in this particular equation}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Convolution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The convolution equation is as follows:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {It does basically the same thing as the Laplace Transform.  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {To start we must inverse transform our transfer function   }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Then we put this into the convolution integral:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {-4(t-t_0)e^{-2t-t_0} \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yeilds:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}m&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Bode Plot of the transfer function==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer Function===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Bode Plot===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This plot is done using the control toolbox in MatLab. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==______________________________Break Points__________________________________==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Find the Break points using the transfer function.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Transfer fucntion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The equation above contains break points but only in the denominator.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {There is only the variable s in the denominator so only those types of break point exist}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The break points are asymtotes at the point -2 which occurs twice in this particular equation}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Convolution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The convolution equation is as follows:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {x(t_0) \, h(t-t_0) \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {It does basically the same thing as the Laplace Transform.  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {To start we must inverse transform our transfer function   }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yields:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Then we put this into the convolution integral:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
x(t)=x_{in}(t) * h(t) = \int_{0}^{t} {-4(t-t_0)e^{-2t-t_0} \, dt_0}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which once more yeilds:  }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=(-cte^{-2t})&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Not exactly the same but remember initial conditions arnt used}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}kg&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}N/m\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {it through the Laplace Transform.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}[\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{20}{5}x]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Initial Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf {sX}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0. Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}ft&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now we put the equation in standard form}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{40}{10}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{40}{10}x=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have the equation written in standard form we need to send}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2} &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Now that we have completed the Laplace Transform}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and solved for X(s) we must so an inverse Laplace Transform. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathcal{L}^{-1}[-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}]&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {and we get}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {x}(t)=-4te^{-2t}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So there you have it the equation of a Critically Damped spring mass system.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Apply the Initial and Final Value Theorems to find the initial and final values==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Initial Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} sF(s)=f(0)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Final Value Theorem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} sF(s)=f(\infty)\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Applying this to our problem===&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow \infty} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(\infty+2)^2}=0\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {So as you can see the value for the initial position will be 0. Because the infinity in the denominator always makes the function tend toward zero.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which makes sense because the system is initially in equilibrium. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {The Final Value Theorem}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(s+2)^2}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lim_{s\rightarrow 0} \mathbf s{X}(s)=-\frac{4}{(0+2)^2}=-\frac 4 {4}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {This shows the final value to be}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;-\frac{4}{4}ft&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Which appears to mean the system will be right below equilibrium after a long time. }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;=Using the Laplace Transform to solve a spring mass system that is  critically damped=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
An 98 Newton weight is attached to a spring with a spring constant k of 40 N/m. &lt;br /&gt;
The spring is stretched 4 m and rests at its equilibrium position.&lt;br /&gt;
It is then released from rest with an initial upward velocity of 2 m/s.&lt;br /&gt;
The system contains a damping force of 40 times the initial velocity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Solution==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Given===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m=\frac{98}{9.81}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Spring Constant k=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Damping Constant C=40}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {x(0)=0}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\dot{x}(0)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Standard equation: }\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+C\frac{dx}{dt}+khx=0&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Solving the problem===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {Therefore the equation representing this system is.}\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\frac{98}{9.8} \frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-40x-40\frac{dx}{dt}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\text {And we get the equation (after some substitution and simplification)}.\,&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf s^2 {X}(s)+4\mathbf s{X}(s)+4\mathbf{X}(s)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mathbf {X}(s)(s^2+4s+4)=-4&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
