Understanding Fourier Transforms

AI Thread 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.

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
