Suppose the mass-spring-oil system of Exercise $10.5 .39(\mathrm{~b})$ is subject to a periodic external force $2 \cos 2 t$. Discuss, in as much detail as you can, the long-term motion of the mass.

Key Concepts

Forced Vibrations

Forced vibrations occur when an external, typically periodic, force acts on a system. In such cases, the system responds with a steady-state oscillation at the driving frequency, regardless of the natural frequency, after any transient effects have died out.

Second-Order Linear Differential Equations

These equations describe the dynamics of systems where acceleration, velocity, and displacement are linearly related, such as in mass-spring-damper systems. They typically consist of a homogeneous part, which represents the natural behavior of the system, and a particular part, which arises from external forcing.

Damping

Damping represents the resistive forces (such as those provided by oil) that lead to the dissipation of energy in the system. The presence of damping ensures that the transient response, which depends on the initial conditions and the system's natural dynamics, decays over time, leaving the steady-state forced response as the dominant behavior.

Transient and Steady-State Responses

The overall response of a forced, damped oscillator can be split into the transient and steady-state components. The transient response, associated with the natural dynamics and initial conditions, decays due to damping, while the steady-state response, which matches the frequency of the driving force, persists in the long term.

Resonance and Frequency Response

The amplitude and phase of the steady-state oscillations depend critically on the relationship between the system's natural frequency and the forcing frequency. If these frequencies are close, the system may experience resonance, resulting in larger oscillations, although damping in the system usually limits the amplitude and prevents unbounded growth.
