A camcorder of mass \(m\) is packed in a container using a flexible packing material. The stiffness and damping constant of the packing material are given by \(k\) and \(c\), respectively, and the mass of the container is negligible. If the container is dropped accidentally from a height of \(h\) onto a rigid floor (see Fig. 4.50), find the motion of the camcorder.
