    How Do You Calculate the Q Factor of a Harmonic Oscillator?

    Actually I just figured out another part of the problem. I now think that the units F_0 / m are actually values themselves represented by variables. F0 = maximum driving force and m is the mass of the object. This just means that now I think I have to find a way to take this...

    How Do You Calculate the Q Factor of a Harmonic Oscillator?

    Homework Statement The amplitude of a driven harmonic oscillator reaches a value of 20.0 F_0 /m at a resonant frequency of 390 Hz. What is the Q value of this system? Since our Professor accidentally gave us the problem set from a different book instead of the one we have, and the one we have...
