Vibrations of Mechanical Systems
Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This law connects force, mass, and acceleration, forming the foundation for analyzing motion in mechanical systems, particularly in the study of vibrations. In the context of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, this principle is crucial for deriving equations of motion that describe how systems respond to forces during free vibration.
