Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass-spring system oscillates with a natural frequency of 5 Hz and a damping ratio of 0.5. What is the damped frequency and how does it compare to the natural frequency?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the given formula for damped frequency.

Question 2

A bridge anticipates resonance with wind currents during a storm. The natural frequency is 1 Hz, and the wind generates a frequency of 1.1 Hz. Explain what precautions might engineering teams take.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about stability in oscillatory systems.
