Problem Statement

Derive the equation of the spring-mass-dashpot in Fig.53 (shown above) in K 2011 p.85, with an applied force on the ball.
Solution
Kinematics
  (2-0) 
Kinetics
  (2-1) 
Where
 (2-2) and   (2-3)
Plugging into (2-1) gives us:   (2-4) 
Using (2-0) and substituting into (2-4), we find that the final equation of motion for the spring-mash-dashpot is: 
  (2-5)
