Derive the differential equation governing the motion of the one degree-of-freedom system by applying the appropriate form(s) of Newton's laws to the appropriate free-body diagrams. Use the generalized coordinate shown in Figures P2.44. Linearize nonlinear differential equations by assuming small displacements.
