First Year Forced Oscillator Problem

[QUOTE="rude man, post: 4978037, member: 350494"] 1. Either solve the ODE for displacement amplitude with zero damping and a forcing function of F(t) = A sin(wt), or look it up in your textbook or elsewhere. This is a 2nd order linear ODE with a forcing function and no initial conditions. Solve the usual way, or look the answer up in your textbook or elsewhere. 2. That gives you amplitude as a function of F,m,k and w (w=2 pi f). Set this to the given amplitude. 3. Solve for w. Note that there are two possible answers for w since A can be either + or - . What do the two frequencies correspond to in terms of the physics of the problem? [/QUOTE]
