Question 1

Given the ODE d2y/dt^2 + 5dy/dt + 6y = cos(t) with y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 0, solve for y(t).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Be mindful of correctly applying the cos(t) transform.

Question 2

Solve the differential equation for a damped harmonic oscillator: d2y/dt^2 + 2ΞΆΟ‰_n dy/dt + Ο‰_n^2y = sin(Ο‰t) where y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify which frequency response functions apply here!
