    This document describes the motion of a damped harmonic oscillator over two half-cycles. In the first half-cycle, the mass x(t) oscillates according to y=(X1-Ff/k)cos(ωnt), where it stops at t=π/ωn when y=-(X1-Ff/k). This gives the position at the end of the first half-cycle as x=-(X1-2Ff/k). In the second half-cycle, x(t') oscillates as z=-(X1-3Ff/k)cos(ωnt'), stopping at t'=π/ωn when z=(X1-3Ff/

    kX

    Ff
    dX/dt = -ve

    First half-cycle:

    mx Ff kx
    mx kx Ff

    Ff

    mx kx Ff mx k x 0
    k

    my k y 0
    Solution is y = Asinnt + B cosnt, n2= k/m.
    At t = 0, x= X1, y = X1-Ff/k, dy/dt=0.
    These two conditions imply
    B= X1-Ff/k and A =0.
    Hence y = (X1-Ff/k) cosnt
    The mass stops again at dy/dt=0 or -n (X1-Ff/k)sinnt=0.
    This implies nt= .and y = -(X1-Ff/k) = x- Ff/k.

    Hence At the end of the first half-cycle x=-(X1-2Ff/k)

    kX
    dX/dt = +ve
    Ff

    Second half-cycle:

    At t= ., x=-(X1-2Ff/k), dx/dt= dy/dt=0.

    mx Ff kx
    mx kx Ff

    Ff

    mx kx Ff mx k x 0
    k

    mz k z 0
    Solution is z = Csinnt + D cosnt, n2= k/m.
    At t = 0, x= x=-(X1-2Ff/k), z = x+Ff/k=-(X1-3Ff/k), dz/dt=0.
    These two conditions imply
    D=-(X1-3Ff/k) and C =0.
    Hence z =-(X1-3Ff/k)cosnt
    The mass stops again at dz/dt=0 or -n(X1-3Ff/k)sinnt=0.

    This implies nt= .and z = (X1-3Ff/k) = x+ Ff/k.


    Hence At the end of the first half-cycle x=-(X1-4Ff/k)
