Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass-spring system is driven by an external force with an amplitude of 5 N. If the amplitude of oscillation is 2 m, calculate the average power if the phase lag is 30 degrees.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use cosine of the phase angle and plug into the average power formula.

Question 2

Describe the effects of increasing the driving frequency on power absorption when approaching the natural frequency.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens as you tune in a radio; the closer you get to the right frequency, the clearer the sound.
