Spring-mass systems are presented as an application of second-order, constant coefficient differential equations in many differential equations textbooks. The phenomenon of resonance can then be analysed after nonhomogeneous differential equations are introduced. With some simplifying assumptions, the movement of the roof of a one-story building…
