Dear Class,

The web site of Professor Korevaar does not have any links that give
examples matching maple lab 2b.

To save a copy of the maple .mws source in your directory, click on the
link and then use SAVE AS on the FILE menu. Launch the saved file from
xmaple. Yes, the browser window will be filled with garbage, but ignore that and save the file anyway.

Formulae:

D=c2-4mk   Discriminant for mr2+cr+k=0

omega=sqrt(k/m)    Pure resonance equation (c=0 assumed)

omega=sqrt(k/m - c2/(2 m2))   Practical resonance equation


The maple lab .mws source file contains sample maple code that can be copied with the mouse. Please avoid retyping maple code, because it introduces errors. Try the samples, get them to work, then modify the code.

Classification:

recipe case 1 == over-damped   D > 0
recipe case 2 == critically-damped   D=0
recipe case 3 == under-damped   D < 0

Use the inequality (D>0, D=0, D<0) to choose a missing value from m,c,k. There are infinity many correct choices. Choose one that makes a good graphic.
