Exercise 101

Avg difficulty 2.5

A mass of 4 kg on a spring with k=4N/mk=4 N/m and a damping constant c=1Ns/mc=1 Ns/m. Suppose that F0=2NF_0 = 2 N. Using the forcing function F0cos⁡(ωt)F_0 \cos (\omega t), find the ω\omega that causes practical resonance and find the practical resonance amplitude.
