Homework Statement
A particle in SHM is subject to a driving force F(t)= ma*e^(-jt). Initial position and speed equal 0. Find x(t).
Homework Equations
F = -kxdx = mvdv
F(t) = F(0)*e^(iωt)
x(t) = Acos (ωt +φ)
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to deal with the exponential term. I know I can put the t in e^(-jt) in terms of v, but that makes integration awfully messy. Any tips? Thanks!
