Question 1

What does the governing equation for forced oscillation represent?

  • It describes free oscillation without external forces.
  • It describes oscillation driven by external forces.
  • It is irrelevant to physics.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the role of the external force in the equation.

Question 2

True or False: Resonance occurs when frequency of the external force matches the natural frequency of the system.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how tuning forks resonate.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass-spring system experiences forced oscillation with a damping ratio of 0.2. The mass is 5 kg, the spring constant is 500 N/m, and the external force is 100 N at a frequency of 2 Hz. Calculate the amplitude at steady-state.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Start with finding the natural frequency and proceed to use the amplitude formula.

Question 2

What would happen to the amplitude if the external force frequency is increased significantly past the natural frequency of the system? Explain why.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how energy resonance changes with different driving frequencies.
