How does one go about plotting the effects of the frequency of the driving force vs the amplitude of the masses in a system such as the one pictured below?
Assume that I have already figured out what my two angular frequencies are, and the amplitues under driven force (the actually equations for the amplitudes are quite lengthy and I will try to refrain from writing it all out here)
The two frequencies for this system are[itex]ω± = (1/2)(2ω^2p + ω^2s)±(1/2)\sqrt{ω^4p + w^4s} [/itex]
and I can plug these into our equations for the amplitude of my oscillators. However I find that there are some irreducible terms such as w^2p which are left behind.. I just can't seem to imagine how I am supposed to generate a graph Amplitude vs ω
