I feel like this is a dumb question, but here goes: I'm trying to model a pendulum with damping. The pendulum is connected to a rubber band (unstretched when the pendulum is vertical) on the right side, and the rubber band is fixed at the other end. How would I go about modeling a rubber band using Newton's Laws? Everything needs to be in terms of m, k, and c. I know that a rubber band acts similarly to a spring, but can it be modeled as such?
