What is the displacement equation for simple harmonic motion without damping?

[imagemania]

(This isn't homework)
I've been crating some notes, and noticed that we haven't been told one equation.
I know for:
\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{-kx}{m} -\frac{b}{m} \frac{dx}{dt}
I know the displacement is:
x = A \omega e^{-bt/2m} cos(\omega t+ \phi)

[Ie damping]

I know for:
\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{-kx}{m} -\frac{b}{m} \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{F}{m}
I know the displacement for this is:
x = Asin(\omega t + \phi) (omega is for driving force).

But what about:
\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{-kx}{m} + \frac{F}{m}
I.e. No damping, what would x be for this?

Thank you!

When \omega^2 \ne k/m, it makes no difference if b = 0, except that \phi will always be 0 or \pi

When \omega^2 = k/m the solution is of the form

x = A t \cos (\omega t)

In words, the response grows without limit, and it is 90 degrees out of phase with the applied force.

The solution for your second equation should have a b in it, but it does not appear. For the third equation use the second equation solution with b=0.

Gah first off i made a mistake on the first one, should have no omega next to A (demensions wouldn't equate)

Ok it would seem i have some equations written down wrong (well two).

\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{-kx}{m} + \frac{F}{m}
Would
x = Asin(\omega t + \phi) (i.e. the cos shifts by pi/2 to make sine?)

And
\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = \frac{-kx}{m} -\frac{b}{m} \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{F}{m}

x = A e^{-bt/2m} sin(\omega t + \phi)

Let me know if these are right :)

Have you tried verifying them yourself. Simply plug your answers back into the equations.
