Experimental Analysis: Forced Harmonic Motion and Resonance

AI Thread Summary
The expression for A(ωF) in question 3 is incorrect, as the square root in the denominator should encompass the entire term. The correct formulation is √((ω0² - ωF²)² + 4γ²ωF²), which clarifies the relationship between the variables. This adjustment ensures accurate calculations in the analysis of forced harmonic motion and resonance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of precise mathematical expressions in experimental physics. Accurate representations are crucial for understanding the dynamics of the system under study.

Homework Statement
First of all I would like to clarify that I don't live in an English-speaking country, which means that certain nomenclatures and symbols may be different and may make it difficult to understand, so if you are unable to understand something, I will be happy to help.

Regarding the exercise itself, I need help mainly with questions 3 and 4 that I sent in the original format (excel), as I am not sure if the file will work I am sending images too.
Relevant Equations
The exercise is based on an experiment consisting of a spring-mass system connected to a motor, the goal is to gradually increase the rotation of the motor until the spring enters resonance while amplitude and time data are collected.

The expression you are given for A(ωF) in qn 3 is wrong. The square root in the denominator should extend right across.
##\sqrt{(\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2)^2}+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2## would obviously reduce to ##{|\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2|}+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2##.
It should be ##\sqrt{(\omega_0^2-\omega_F^2)^2+4\gamma^2\omega_F^2}##.
Can you take it from there?

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
