Overdamped Problem
Ex.1 An overdamped system, with mass 10kgs, stiffness 20kN/m and zeta = 2.5.
Plot the graph for the following conditions.

Fig.1 Graph for overdamped problem

Critically Damped Problem

Ex.2 For mass= 8kg, Stiffness= 15N/m and Zeta=1, plot the graph for the following
conditions.

Under Damped Problem
Ex.3 A machine weighs 24kg and is supported on springs of stiffness 18N/mm and
zeta = 0.421. Plot the graph for the following conditions.
