## 3-060-S-DataToDifferentialEquation

By Eric Sullivan, Kelly Cline

#### Abstract

Students use their knowledge of second-order linear differential equations in

conjunction with physical intuition of spring-mass systems to estimate the damping

coefficient and spring constant from data. The data is presented as {%5Cit total

distance traveled} instead of displacement so the students must rely on previous

calculus knowledge as well as knowledge of differential equations and numerical

differentiation.
