Understanding Fourier Transforms

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on using the Fourier transform to analyze the function x(t) = A sin(w1t) + B cos(w2t) for its frequency response and spectrum graph. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work when asking for help and clarify that a frequency response typically relates to transfer functions in circuits. The conversation also prompts the user to identify the frequency components present in the time domain function. Understanding these components is crucial for accurately sketching the frequency domain representation. Overall, the thread highlights the need for clarity in defining terms and demonstrating effort in problem-solving.

How to obtain the frequency response and the spectrum graph of this function
x(t) = A sen(w1t) + Bcos(w2t)
Relevant Equations
Hi guys, can someone help me solve this.
Thanks.
I think that is with the Fourier transform.

You were asked to show your work when reposting this question. Please show more effort or this thread will also be deleted.

That said, what do you mean "frequency response" in the context of that equation? A frequency response is usually associated with the transfer function of a function block or circuit. Certainly you can sketch the frequency domain version of that time domain function, right? What are the two frequency components of that sketch?
 

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
