function vtb5_1(m,c,k)
%VTB5_1 Transmissibility ratio of a SDOF system.
%  VTB5_1(m,c,k) plots the tranmissibility ratio for the system
%  described by the mass m, damping coefficient c, and stiffness k.
%  VTB5_1(zeta,w) plots the transmissibility ratio for the system
%  described by the damping ratio zeta and undamped natural
%  frequency w.
