A simple instantiation of this is an equation which relates the velocity, dx/dt, of an object as a function of its position F(x) in time.

Linear Systems
During the rst 3 (maybe all 4) years of engineering youll see the world as a linear system Relatively easy to solve and understand Large body of theory Of course the world is rarely linear The trick is... can we make it look linear?

Homework
Sealy (the bed company) is having a problem. The problem is that people are so happy to get into their comfy Sealy beds that they jump on them. Jumping so high and because the beds are so springy they are ung off the bed onto the ground and sue the company. To combat this problem Sealy wants to design a new bed that will keep the average adult (weighing between 55kg and 110kg) on their beds (but still provide the softest possible landing). Can you help choose the damping and spring constants for the bed assuming the bed is very thin (think trampoline like), it is 30cm off the ground and the average height (at its peak) of someones jump is 120 cm.
