$A$ simple harmonic oscillator of angular frequency $\omega = 2 \, rad \, s^{-1}$ is acted upon by an external force $F = \sin(t) \, N$. If the oscillator is at rest in its equilibrium position at $t = 0$,its position at later times is proportional to

  • A
    $\sin(t) + \frac{1}{2} \cos(2t)$
  • B
    $\cos(t) - \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$
  • C
    $\sin(t) - \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$
  • D
    $\sin(t) + \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t)$

If a damped oscillator is very heavily damped,what is its frequency?

If a simple pendulum has significant amplitude (up to a factor of $1/e$ of original) only in the period between $t = 0 \ s$ to $t = \tau \ s$,then $\tau$ may be called the average life of the pendulum. When the spherical bob of the pendulum suffers a retardation (due to viscous drag) proportional to its velocity with $b$ as the constant of proportionality,the average life time of the pendulum is (assuming damping is small) in seconds:

Write the equation of angular frequency and amplitude for damped oscillation.

The amplitude of a damped oscillator is known to decrease to $0.9$ times its original amplitude in $5 \,s$. Approximately, by how many times its original amplitude will it decrease after another $20 \,s$?

If velocity is not large,then on which factor does the damping force on an oscillator in a medium depend?
