undamped spring-mass system with mass 6 kg and a spring which is stretched 2 meter by 10 Newtons. Suppose an oscillating force 3 cos(ωt) is acting on the system. What value of ω causes resonance? For this value of ω, find a formula for x, the distance between the weight and equilibrium t seconds after the weight starts at x = 0 at rest.
force by a streched string is
spring constant is
The equation of the spring with force acting on it is
its easy to handle if we use complex equation
and real part of the solution is required
In a steady state, the system oscillates as
inserting into equation
the value of omega that causes resonance is
the formule for x for this value of omega is
where
