Hello

I found a problem that I'm not sure how to solve.

A maintained oscillator satisfies the condition omega0=2*delta.
Does anyone know what is the physical significance of this condition for the resonance phenomena?

My guess is that there is no resonance, but that seems a little weird.
Thanks

Hello John,
Isn't omegao just a symbol for the angular frequency for which resonance occurs in that particular problem?
 


Forget about my guess.
w0 is the natural frequency
The resonance frequency is wr^2 = w0^2 - 2delta^2
