Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A bridge is designed with natural frequency 1 Hz. External forces apply a frequency of 0.9 Hz with low damping. What will happen?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the relationship between driving frequency and natural frequency.

Question 2

You have a damped harmonic oscillator with a damping coefficient $b$. How will increasing $b$ affect the amplitude at resonance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the effectiveness of energy dissipation in the system.
