We have a driven harmonic oscillator, so we've got a mass on a spring, it's got a resistive force b and a driving force f, which is f zero cosine omega t.
00:17
We have all those numbers.
00:20
Okay, so the relevant equation is this one, mx double dot plus bx dot plus kx equals f, which is f zero cosine omega t.
00:35
So let's try a solution that looks like this.
00:40
We're expecting to have it be a cosine omega t plus phi, where phi is some phase angle.
00:47
Take the derivative and again, then we'll plug those derivatives back into the equation, x.
01:18
Now i'm going to collect like terms on the left -hand side, because we've got two cosine terms there.
01:38
Okay, then what i'm going to do is i'm going to, we've got the cosine of a sum and the sine of a sum, so i'm going to use our standard trig identities to break that up.
02:22
Okay, then what i'm going to do, so i've got an equation here, i've got some terms that are basically a constant times cosine omega t.
02:37
I have other terms, that are basically a constant times sine omega t, because phi is a constant and omega is a constant and xm is a constant.
02:47
So i'm really just going to separate out the stuff that's cosine omega t from the stuff that's sine omega t.
02:54
I can always do that because they have different time dependents and so because everything else is constant, the coefficients have to separately be equations.
03:08
And what it's going to do is it's going to give me two equations.
03:21
So the first one depends on f0, the second one doesn't.
03:50
And if i look at that second equation, i can cancel out the xm and i can basically solve this, rearrange it, so i've got sine over cosine, which is tangent.
04:06
So the tangent of phi, which like i said is sine over cosine, is just numbers that i already know, so i can calculate it.
04:24
But i want to point one thing out along the way, that there's actually, because i'm going to be really taking an inverse tangent function to get phi, that i have choices i can make and we'll see that it's important that i make those choices.
04:46
We'll talk about that later, but that's a preview of what's going to be happening.
04:52
So i can plug in the numbers and i get a value for the tangent, that's 1 .13.
05:10
And so phi, at least apparently if i just use the calculator, tells me phi is 0 .847 radians...
