Question

A particle of mass m is attached to a spring (of spring constant k) and has a natural angular frequency ω0. An extemal force F(t) proportional to cos ω t(ω  w0) is applied to the oscillator. The time displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to

Moderate
Solution

For forced oscillation,

x = x0sin(ωt+φ)  and F = F0cos ωt

where, x0 = F0m(ω02-ω2) α 1m(ω02-ω2)
