Question 194 of 194

A particle of mass mm is attached to a spring (of spring constant kk ) and has a natural angular frequency ω0\omega_0. An external force F(t)F(t) proportional to cos⁡ωt(ω≠ω0)\cos \omega t\left(\omega \neq \omega_0\right) is applied to the oscillator. The time displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) 1m(ω02−ω2)\frac{1}{m\left(\omega_0^2-\omega^2\right)}

For forced oscillations, the displacement is given by
x=Asin⁡(ωt+ϕ) with A=F0/mω02−ω2\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{A} \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}+\phi) \text { with } \mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_0 / \mathrm{m}}{\omega_0^2-\omega^2}
