Homework for Friday, Oct 23. (due in class on Friday).

From the book, Problems:

3-27, 3-34

And in addition,

(In all this, The * means "times". The ^ means superscript, the _ means subscript .

30) Consider an damped harmonic oscillator driven by the force F_0*sin^3(wt).
a) what is the expression for x(t) for this force?
b) For beta=.1 and w_0=1, roughly calculate and plot x(t) for w=w_0
c) For beta=.1 and w_0=1, roughly calculate and plot x(t) for 3*w=w_0
d) how do the maximum amplitude and the relative phase between the force and the response compare for these two driving frequencies? (extra credit)


31) Consider an damped harmonic oscillator driven by the force which is F_0*t for -T/2 < t < T/2 and is periodic such that F(t+T)=F(t) for all t . (T is the period)
a) what is the expression for x(t) for this force?
b) For beta=.1 and w_0=1, roughly calculate and plot x(t) for w=w_0
c) For beta=.1 and w_0=1, roughly calculate and plot x(t) for 3*w=w_0
