Oscillations - Result Question 63
69. A particle, with restoring force proportional to displacement and resistve force proportional to velocity is subjected to a force . If the amplitude of the particle is maximum for and the energy of the particle is maximum for , then
(a)
(b)
[1989]
(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
- (c) At maximum energy of the particle, velocity resonance takes place, which occurs when frequency of external periodic force is equal to natural frequency of undamped vibrations, i.e.
.
Further, amplitude resonance takes place at a frequency of external force which is less than the frequency of undamped natural vibrations, i.e.,
