Deteriming resonant frequencies

Click For Summary
To determine the resonant frequencies of the function T(s) = 7/s(s^2+6s+58), it needs to be evaluated at T(iω), resulting in T(iω) = 7/(ωi*(ω^2+6iω+58)). The goal is to plot this function to identify the peaks in omega, which indicate the resonant frequencies. The discussion highlights the need to separate the real and imaginary parts of the equation and set the real part to zero to find solutions. However, the user is struggling with the plotting process and seeks assistance using TI-89, Excel, or MATLAB.

I am stumped on how exactly to do this.

I have the function: T(s) = 7/s(s^2+6s+58)

I need to change this to T(iω) and i being a complex root.

This creates: T(iω) = 7/(ωi*(ω^2+6iω+58))

I know I need to plot this function and find out where omega peaks and this will be my resonant frequence.

My only problem is I don't know how to plot this.

I've got a TI-89, Excel, or MATLAB if anyone knows how to do this in either of those.

Please let me know.

The circuit will be resonant if there are no real losses. In order for there to be no real losses, the circuit response must be entirely imaginary. Do some algebra to separate the real and imaginary parts, then equivalate the real par to zero. Then try solving it.
 
For some reason, I still can't get anything to come out of what you suggested. I understand what you are saying but its just not working.

Anyone have other comments that might help?

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
