Mass = 4

K = 300 N/m

Fo = 4
Case 1 (ω=2)

First get ωn =sqrt(k/m) =sqrt(300/4) = 8.66 rad/sec

Then use the equation:

Considering the system starts from rest

X0=0

X00=0

After substituting

X(t)=-0.014*COS(8.66*t)+0.014*COS(2*t)

As we can see omega is less than omega n and system is in phase with the force
Case 2 (ω= ωn)
Using this equation

Ნst= Fo/K =0.0133 m

And for the same initial conditions,

The final form is:

x(t)=0.0577*t*SIN(8.77*t)

Due to working on the

resonance point the

amplitude will increase to

infinity or till failure

happens

Case 3 (ω= ωn-1)

ω=7.66 rad/sec

Using this equation and for same initial conditions:

The final form:

x(t)=-0.0612*COS(8.66*t)+0.0612*COS(7.66*t)

When force frequency is too

close to omega n amplitude

will build up then diminishes

which is known as beating.

Case 4 (ω= 100)

The equation used:

The final form

x(t)=-1.0075*10^(-4)*COS(8.66*t)+1.0075*10^(-4)*COS(100*t)

When the frequency of the

force is very high the system
response appears to be very
small almost constant
the same way I am moving my hand which is holding a rope with a ball in the end so because
I’m moving my hand very fast the ball response is too small.
