Mechanical engineers often study the movement of damped oscillating objects Studies of this type play an important role in the design of automobile suspensions among other things The horizontal displacement of an object is given as a function of time by the equatior x xoe Bt cos wt B w sin wt The parameters and w depend upon the mass of the object and the dynamic characterisucs of the system a Prepare a table of x versus t over the interval 0 t 30 At 0 5 sec Let xo 8 in 0 10 sec and w 0 50 sec The mua last three values are constant therefore Absolute addresses are needed All variables must be clearly labeled Make sure to add borders to the table and use 2 decimal places 23 b Highlight the first points where x first crosses the t axis Tumainos
