(a) Show that the instantaneous power input of the driving force is given by \(P=F v=-A \omega F_0 \cos \omega t \sin (\omega t-\delta)\). (b) Use the identity \(\sin \left(\theta_1-\theta_2\right)=\sin \theta_1 \cos \theta_2-\cos \theta_1 \sin \theta_2\) to show that the equation in Part (a) can be written as \(P=A \omega F_0 \sin \delta \cos ^2 \omega t \sin -A \omega F_0 \cos \delta \cos \omega t \sin \omega t\) (c) Show that the average value of the second term in your result for Part (b) over one or more periods is zero, and that therefore \(P_{\text {av }}=\frac{1}{2} A \omega F_0 \sin \delta\). (d) From Equation 14-56 for \(\tan \delta\), construct a right triangle in which the side opposite the angle \(\delta\) is \)b \omega\) and the side adjacent is \(m\left(\omega_0^2-\omega^2\right)\), and use this triangle to show that \(\sin \delta=\frac{b \omega}{\sqrt{m^2\left(\omega_0^2-\omega^2\right)^2+b^2 \omega^2}}=\frac{b \omega A}{F_0} \text {.ssm }\) (e) Use your result for Part (d) to eliminate \(\omega A\) from your result for Part (c), so that the average power input can be written as \(P_{\mathrm{av}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{F_0^2}{b} \sin ^2 \delta=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{b \omega^2 F_0^2}{m^2\left(\omega_0^2-\omega^2\right)^2+b^2 \omega^2}\right]\)

MULTISTEP In this problem, you are to use the result of Problem 105 to derive Equation 14-51. At resonance, the denominator of the fraction in brackets in Problem 105(e) is and has its maximum value. For a sharp resonance, the variation in in the numerator in this equation can be neglected. Then, the power input will be half its maximum value at the values of for which the denominator is (a) Show that then satisfies (b) Using the approximation show that (c) Express in terms of (d) Combine the results of Part (b) and Part (c) to show that there are two values of for which the power input is half that at resonance and that they are given by Therefore, which is equivalent to Equation 14-51.
