This document contains the worked solutions to 4 questions regarding damped oscillators and forced oscillations.
Question 1 involves finding the damping constant, natural frequency, and oscillation period for a damped oscillator. Question 2 determines the period and natural frequency of a damped block-spring system.
Question 3 provides the equation of motion for an oscillator driven by an external force and calculates the steady-state amplitude and phase lag. Question 4 finds the resonance frequency that produces maximum amplitude and calculates the steady-state displacement for a constant driving force.
