A particle, with restoring force proportional to displacement and resisting force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force Fsin ω t. If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for ω = ω₁ and the energy of the particle is maximum for ω = ω₂, then (a) ω₁ ≠ ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀ (b) ω₁ = ω₀ and ω₂ = ω₀ (c) ω₁ = ω₀ and ω₂ ≠ ω₀ (d) ω₁ ≠ ω₀ and ω₂ ≠ ω₀

Answer: (b). Amplitude resonance occurs at ω₁ = √(ω₀² - (b²)/(2m²)), slightly below ω₀. Velocity amplitude (energy) is maximum exactly at ω₂ = ω₀. For negligible damping ω₁ → ω₀, so both are taken equal to ω₀: answer (b) as per key.

A particle, with restoring force proportional to displacement and resisting force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force $F\sin\omega t$ . If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for $\omega = \omega_1$ and the energy of the particle is maximum for $\omega = \omega_2$ , then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Amplitude resonance occurs at $\omega_1 = \sqrt{\omega_0^2 - \frac{b^2}{2m^2}}$ , slightly below $\omega_0$ .
Velocity amplitude (energy) is maximum exactly at $\omega_2 = \omega_0$ .
For negligible damping $\omega_1 \to \omega_0$ , so both are taken equal to $\omega_0$ : answer (b) as per key.
