Question

A force F = F_0 exp(-at) x-axis acts on a harmonic oscillator of mass m, spring constant k, without damping, which moves along the x-axis. Assuming that, at t=0, the oscillator is at rest at the origin, determine the displacement x(t). [Hint: Suppose the particular solution is of type x_p(t) = exp(-at).]
