    Driven Harmonic Oscillator: Proving that the max power is given by ω_r = ω_0

    Homework Statement Prove that that the power given by \bar{P} = \frac{1}{2} \gamma m \omega_r^2 A_{(\omega)}^2 is at a maximum for \omega_r = \omega_0 Only variable is \omega_r \omega_r is the resonant frequency of the external force while \omega_0 is the eigen frequency of the...
