Homework Statement


Given damping constant b, mass m spring constant k,
in a damped driven oscillation system the average power introduced into the system equals the average power drained out of the system by the damping force, for what values of ω does the instantanious damping power = instantaneous drive power

Homework Equations


Total power of system =(-kx - b v(t)+ F0Cos(ωt))v(t)
x(t)= A cos(wt + (phi))

The Attempt at a Solution


Edit: just tried again, I subbed in ma for F and the Still Stuck with amplitudes on one side, and stuck with phi's

It would help if you showed your actual calculations.
 
x(t) = Acos(\omegat+\phi)=Aei(\omegat +\phi

Force of Driver = -mA\omega2 ei\omegat

Total force = -kx-bv+ma
total force * x'(t)=x'(t)*(-kx-bv+ma)
divide by m
\frac{b}{m}=\gamma

\frac{k}{m}=\omega02

\omega02Aei(\omegat +\phi)-A\gammai\omegaei(\omegat +\phi)-A\omega2ei(\omega
I think the question is asking for what nonzero ω values is the total instantanious power 0
which means

\omega02Aei(\omegat +\phi)-A\gammai\omegaei(\omegat +\phi)-A\omega2ei(\omegat =0

Cancel Like Terms

\omega02ei(\omegat +\phi)-\gammai\omegaei(\omegat +\phi)-\omega2ei(\omegat) =0

if there was a phi in the force term I could cancel all the e's but according to my book there is no phi term, and phi is not a given so I am stuck
 
Remember that e^{i(\omega t + \phi)} = e^{i\omega t + i\phi)} = e^{i\omega t} e^{i\phi}.

Then you can cancel the e^{i\omega t}. I'm not sure if this helps too much, but you could also use the vector representation of complex numbers to find \phi?
 
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "total force." I'd take that to mean "net force" which should be equal to ma. And how is it supposed to be related to the power dissipated by the damping force and the power supplied by the driving force?

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
