Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the complex force representation, derive the corresponding transfer function for a damped harmonic oscillator.

💡 Hint: Work through equilibrium and forces at harmonic frequencies.

Challenge 2 Hard

A structural engineer analyzes a building using Euler's formula. If the system experiences a harmonic force at a frequency of 5 Hz and is damped, what is the expected impact of increasing the damping ratio on the phase angle?

💡 Hint: Consider how damping modifies overall oscillatory behavior.
