Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the equation for forced oscillations?

  • a) mxยจ + bxห™ + kx = F_0 sin(ฯ‰t)
  • b) mxยจ + bxห™ + kx = F_0 cos(ฯ‰t)
  • c) mxยจ + kx = F_0 cos(ฯ‰t)

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Focus on whether itโ€™s sine or cosine in the equation.

Question 2

True or False: Resonance occurs only in undamped systems.

  • True
  • False

๐Ÿ’ก Hint: Consider how energy loss might affect resonance.
