Question

ODE Solver - errors with differential equation

Hey,

I am trying to model the second order differential equations for the shock absorber. I would like to get the funtion of the movement of the mass. I am getting errors from the Solve Block in MathCAD, and I cannot understand where is it coming from. I suppose the reason is the sin function x(t), but I have no idea how can I write it differently. Without units the solver was working fine, but with units I get always an error. I am uploading the MathCAD file.

I would be glad for some hints and tipps! Any help is welcome! Smiley Happy 

Best regards,

Jolanta

ValeryOchkov, thank you for your answer Heart It is veeery helpful, I was stuck with it for many hours...

But can you elaborate it a little bit, for example why should I write it like this:

I do not get this t over s 🙂

Thanks!

One other way to do in the top of Mathcad 15 sheet

m:=1 s:=1 kg:=1 N:=1 etc

But it is not good too. Better use Prime!
