Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a damped harmonic oscillator, the mass m = 5 kg is subjected to a damping force characterized by Ξ³ = 0.2 s⁻¹. If the external force F0 = 30 N is applied, find the steady-state amplitude at a frequency Ο‰ = 1 rad/s and natural frequency Ο‰0 = 2 rad/s.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Pay attention to using the correct values in the equation based on given parameters.

Question 2

A building sways due to wind at varying frequencies. Discuss how understanding resonance could aid engineers in minimizing structural impacts.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about past examples of building failures due to frequency matching.
