Can someone help me with a mathcad 3.0 numerical solution for the problem attached. I need to be able to write a loop to compute the displacements, velocity, and accelerations at each time step, and then plot these graphs vs time.

thanks

Your function F() must return a value for negative arguments, too. thats what the error message is telling you.

And in my opinion you should add an = to either of the 0,14 limits

and I guess this should do the job as well

Werner, thank you the reply. But, i was expecting a "for" and "if" loop statements using equations 2b, 3a & 3b. i am familiar with the odesolve within the mathcad.

Something like this, I guess:

Have changed Delta_t to get a  better resolution and accuracy:
