Problem R1.1: Spring-dashpot system[edit | edit source]
Solved by Francisco Arrieta
- Derive the equation of motion of a spring-dashpot system in parallel, with a mass and applied force .
- (1)
- Since the spring and dashpot are placed parallel to each other, they will experience the same deformation when a force is applied on the system
- (2)
- Based on Newton's Second Law of Motion where is the second derivative of position with respect to time
- (3)
- (4)
Using (1) in (2)&(3):
Then (2) becomes:

Problem R1.4: Circuit equation derivation[edit | edit source]
Solved by Gonzalo Perez
Derive (3) and (4) from (2).
Given:
(2)
(3)
(4)
First, let's solve for (3).
Recall that:
,
and
.
We can use this information to replace the differentiating terms accordingly.
After doing so, we get:
but knowing that , we can rearrange the terms to get .
Using this information in the previously derived equation, we find that:
.
Finally, after differentiating with respect to , we get:
.
Now, let's solve for (4).
Once again considering that , we can solve for (4) by differentiating
twice and then plugging it into (2).
Deriving twice, we find that:
After plugging this into (2), we see that:
.
Once rearranging , we find that .
We can plug this in to the above equation to get the solution:

Solved by Jonathan Sheider
These problems are taken directly from Erwin Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics, p.59 problems 4-5. The theory behind solving the differential equations is based on the derived mathematical approach to Solving Homogeneous Linear ODE's with Constant Coefficients (Erwin Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics, pages 53-59).

Problem R1.6: ODE linearity and superposition[edit | edit source]
Solved by Daniel Suh
For each Ordinary Differential Equations, determine the order, linearity, and show whether the principal of superposition can be applied.
To find the order of Ordinary Differential Equations, (ODEs) simply check the differential order of the dependent variable. If the dependent variable is differentiated once, then it is a first order ODE. If it is differentiated twice, it is a second order ODE.
To find the linearity of the ODE, check the power of the dependent variable. If the dependent variable is raised to the power of anything one than 1, then it is not linear. If the dependent variable is raised to the power of 1, then it is linear.
For a homogeneous linear ODE (2), any linear combination of two solutions on an open interval I is again a solution of (2) on I. In particular, for such an equation, sums and constant multiples of solutions are again solutions.[3]
The function satisfies the superposition principle if the sum of the homogeneous solution and the particular solution is equal to , with
