Consider a linear system governed by the first-order differential equation
c \dot{x} (t)+kx(t)=f(t)The accompanying sketch shows one physical system that is governed by this differential equation, with k being a spring stiffness, c a dashpot value, and f(t) an applied force. Find the impulse response function h_{x}(t) such that Eq. 5.2
x(t)=\int_{-\infty }^{\infty }{f(s)h_{x}(t-s)ds} \equiv \int_{-\infty }^{\infty }{f(t-r)h_{x}(r)dr}describes the solution of the problem.
