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?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
