QUESTION:

The solution for x (t) for a driven, underdamped oscillator is most conveniently found in the form (5.69). Solve that equation and the corresponding expression for \(\dot{x}\), to give the coefficients \(B_{1}\) and \(B_{2}\) in terms of A,\(\delta\), and the initial position and velocity \(x_{0}\) and \(v_{0}\). Verify the expressions given in and (5.70).

QUESTION:

The solution for x (t) for a driven, underdamped oscillator is most conveniently found in the form (5.69). Solve that equation and the corresponding expression for \(\dot{x}\), to give the coefficients \(B_{1}\) and \(B_{2}\) in terms of A,\(\delta\), and the initial position and velocity \(x_{0}\) and \(v_{0}\). Verify the expressions given in and (5.70).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The general solution of the driven underdamped oscillator is given as,

\(x(t)=A \cos (\omega t-\delta)+e^{-\beta t} \cdot\left(B_{1} \cos \omega_{1} t+B_{2} \sin \omega_{1} t\right)\) .................. (1)

For t = 0.

\(\begin{aligned} x(0) & =A \cos (\omega(0)-\delta)+e^{-p(0)} \cdot\left(B_{1} \cos \omega_{1}(0)+B_{2} \sin \omega_{1}(0)\right) \\ x_{0} & =A \cos \delta+B_{1} \\ B_{1} & =x_{0}-A \cos \delta \end{aligned}\)
