Example: Force Driving a Mass

Consider a force $ f(t)$ driving a mass $ m$ to produce a velocity $ v(t)=\dot{x}(t)$ at the driving point. By Newton's 2nd law,

\begin{eqnarray*}
f(t) &=& m\, \dot{v}(t) \;\longleftrightarrow\;F(s) = ms\,V(s)...
...\omega) &\isdef &\frac{F(j\omega)}{V(j\omega)}
\;=\; j\,m\omega
\end{eqnarray*}

where $ \omega$ is frequency in radians per second
