DSB-SC Signal from Homework Statement

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around deriving the Double Sideband Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) signal from a given original signal. The user is attempting to multiply the original signal and apply Fourier transforms, but is uncertain about handling the term m^2(t) and its implications. There is a suggestion that m^2(t) may introduce a DC bias, which could be utilized in the analysis. The user expresses confusion about the correct procedure and seeks clarification on the transformation process. Understanding the role of m^2(t) and its bias is crucial for correctly deriving the DSB-SC signal.

Homework Statement


I am giving the following signal:
upload_2018-3-14_19-44-58.png

and asked to get the DSB-SC signal of this

Homework Equations


3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]
So, I know a few things.

My prof writes that

I would have to multiply my original signal out and then take the Fourier transforms accordingly ?
Yet, another source suggests:
upload_2018-3-14_19-48-4.png


I was trying to multiply it out to get
m^2(t)+2m(t)Accos(2pifct)+Ac^2cos^2(2pifct)
then I would have to take the Fourier transform but set it to f-fc. I would be unsure how to proceed with the m^2(t), so I feel like i am doing something wrong

Please use LaTeX to write your equations. (See https://www.physicsforums.com/help/latexhelp/.) It makes them much easier to read and greatly increases the likelihood that you will receive replies to your posts.
Won't ##m^2(t)## have a DC bias? Can you make use of that bias?
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
