Comparing system responses is essential for design decisions. This challenge will help you automate comparative analysis using Python. You will use your knowledge of **mass-spring-damper system simulation** and **plotting** to directly compare the time-domain responses of two different systems. By visualizing both displacement curves on the same graph, you can quickly identify differences in performance, such as **damping**, **oscillation frequency**, or **settling time**.
