Laplace II: Steps, Impulses & Convolution · Challenge problem

A spring at rest is pushed by a force that grows linearly and is then cut off: y′′+y=f(t)y''+y=f(t), y(0)=y′(0)=0y(0)=y'(0)=0, where f(t)=tf(t)=t for 0≤t<π0\le t<\pi and f(t)=0f(t)=0 for t≥πt\ge\pi. Use the Laplace transform to find y(2π)y(2\pi).
