imum value 10100 and yet the area under its graph

h0
Of course this doesnt really make sense mathematically, but you can think of (t) as an extremely tall
and narrow spike at t = 0. Similarly, you can think
of (t - a) as an innitely tall and narrow spike at t
= a. Note
(t)dt = 1,
27
(t)g(t)dt = g(0).
0
In a similar way,
(t a)g(t)dt = g(a).
L [(t a)] =
So L1 [eas ] = (t a).
Note that by setting a = 0 we have
L1 [1] = (t).
EXAMPLE: INJECTIONS!

k = 0.924.
= ky + 100(t) + 100(t 1)
0<t<1
says:
Mx
= kx bx + (t 1).
With the given initial data, taking the Laplace transform gives
M s2 X(s) = kX(s) bsX(s) + es ,
32
and so
es
X(s) =
.
M s2 + bs + k
But the Laplace transform of the given response function is [using both t-shifting and s-shifting!]
es
es
X(s) =
= 2
,
(s + 1)2 + 1
s + 2s + 2
so by inspection we see that M = 1, b = 2, k = 2 in
MKS units, and we have successfully reconstructed
the parameters of this system, just by hitting it with
a delta function impulse! Similar ideas work for electrical circuits etc etc etc. Useful idea.
If you look at the graph of the solution you will
see that the derivative jumps suddenly at t = 1; that
is, there is a sharp corner there. This is typical
in problems involving delta-function impulses, basically because such impulses cause the momentum,
and therefore the velocity, to change suddenly.
