after an interval of time
 Vibratory System consists of:
1) spring or elasticity
2) mass or inertia
3) damper
 Involves transfer of potential energy to
kinetic energy and vice versa

systems:

If a single coordinate is sufficient to define the

position of any point at any time in the system, it is
