4th Order Point Mass (Longitudinal)

A model of planar translational motion of a material point.

4th order point mass longitudinal

Description

The 4th Order Point Mass (Longitudinal) block implements a model of planar translational motion of a material point.

The equations of motion have the form:







The 4th Order Point Mass (Longitudinal) block works in SI units.

The block uses coordinate systems according to the international standard ISO 1151.
