We examine the case of forced oscillations, which we did not yet handle. That is, we consider the equation. for some nonzero . F (t). The setup is again: m is mass, c is friction, k is the spring …

When you drive the ball at its natural frequency, the ball’s oscillations increase in amplitude with each oscillation for as long as you drive it. The phenomenon of driving a system with a frequency equal …

In this chapter, we apply the tools of complex exponentials and time translation invariance to deal with damped oscillation and the important physical phenomenon of resonance in single oscillators.

Oscillator equation with external force F(t): basic case assumes F periodic, mx 00 +cx 0 +kx = F 0 cos w t Many real-life situations can be modelled with this equation, for example buildings in an …

The oscillator is in resonance when the driver frequency of the external force is equal to the natural frequency != 5 of the unperturbed oscillator. The equation that describes a resonant oscillator is

Equation (1) for ω = ω0 has by the method of undetermined coefficients the unbounded F0 oscillatory solution x(t) = sin(ω0 t). To summarize: 2ω0. Pure resonance occurs exactly when the natural …

We present three di®erent methods of solving for the position x(t). In the special case where the driving frequency equals the natural frequency of the spring, the amplitude becomes large. This is …

In this case the equation of motion of the mass is given by, where is the (angular) frequency of the driving force. The amplitude, B, has a maximum value when . This is called the resonance …

Define forced oscillations; List the equations of motion associated with forced oscillations; Explain the concept of resonance and its impact on the amplitude of an oscillator; List the characteristics of a …
