1. (a) Determine the peak displacement for the impulsively excited spring-mass
system, and show that it can be expressed in the form,
p p1

(b) Show that the time tp corresponding to the peak response for the impulsively
spring-mass system is given by the equation, tan 1 2 !n tp =

2. Show that the response to a unit step function , designated by g (t), is related to
the impulsive response h(t) by the equation h(t) = g_ (t):
3. For the triangular pulse shown in Figure 1, show that the response is given by:
