Spring Mass system Proof

The video tutorial explains the derivation of the equation of motion for a spring-mass system. It begins with a free body diagram and applies Newton's second law to derive a second-order differential equation. The solution involves complex numbers and the superposition theorem, leading to a generalized solution. The tutorial simplifies the solution using trigonometric identities and introduces the concept of natural angular frequency, highlighting its importance in undamped systems.
