The governing differential equation of a mass-spring-damper system is given by m x + c x + kx = F . Taking the Laplace transforms of the above equation (assuming zero initial conditions)‚ we have ms 2 X ( s ) + csX ( s ) + kX ( s ) = F ( s )‚ X ( s) 1 ⇒ = . 2 F ( s ) ms + cs + k Equation (1) represents the transfer
