A popular undergrad classical mechanics text (JR Taylor, 2005) expresses the following eqn. for the DDHO: ï + 2Bi +w²x = f. cos(wt). Further, they express a general (steady-state) solution as: x(t) = A cos(wt – 8) a) Show that the amplitude (squared) is given by (62 – w2)2 + 48202 b) Verify that the following is in fact true: W2 = V02 – 282 = value of w at which response is maximum.
