A particle of mass is attached to a spring (of spring constant ) and has a natural angular frequency . An external force proportional to () is applied to the oscillator. The displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
For a forced oscillator with driving force and no damping, the steady-state amplitude is given by:
The displacement .Thus, the displacement is proportional to .
The displacement .Thus, the displacement is proportional to .
