Mechanical Vibrations II: Forced Response

Summary

We continue with the solution of ODEs that govern a spring-mass system: $$ m x^{\prime \prime}(t)+\delta x^{\prime}(t)+k x(t)=f(t), $$ where $\delta \geqslant 0$ is the damping constant, $m>0$ is the mass of the object, and $k>0$ is the spring constant. $f(t)$ is forcing (or input).
