This function is periodic, which means it repeats itself at regular intervals. To this end, differentiate the previous equation directly, and use the definition i = dq/ dt: This differential equation governs the behavior of an LRC series circuit with a source of sinusoidally varying voltage. 0000008183 00000 n
Despite its rather formidable appearance, it lends itself easily to analysis. According to the preceding calculation, resonance is achieved when, Therefore, in terms of a (relatively) fixed ω and a variable capacitance, resonance will occur when, (where f is the frequency of the broadcast). Given this expression for i , it is easy to calculate, Substituting these last three expressions into the given nonhomogeneous differential equation (*) yields, Therefore, in order for this to be an identity, A and B must satisfy the simultaneous equations. 0000013645 00000 n

The air (or oil) provides a damping force, which is proportional to the velocity of the object. But this seems reasonable: Damping reduces the speed of the block, so it takes longer to complete a round trip (hence the increase in the period).

Since velocity is the time derivative of the position, and acceleration is the time derivative of the velocity, acceleration is the second time derivative of the position. Newton's Second Law can be applied to this spring‐block system. 192 102

A series LCK network is chosen as the fundamental circuit; the voltage equation of this circuit is solved for a number of different forcing (driving) functions including a sinusoid, an amplitude modulated (AM) wave, a frequency modulated (KM) wave, and some exponentials. Now, if an expression for i( t)—the current in the circuit as a function of time—is desired, then the equation to be solved must be written in terms of i. The original differential equation (*) for the LRC circuit was nonhomogeneous, so a particular solution must still be obtained. First, since the block is released from rest, its intial velocity is 0: Since c 2 = 0, equation (*) reduces to Now, since x(0) = + 3/ 10m, the remaining parameter can be evaluated: Finally, since and Therefore, the equation for the position of the block as a function of time is given by. �>p�E�g��1̱��:z�)�&/��>���g��ƞUZ���?�[ꃬ�� To evaluate the numerical answer, the following values are used: gravitational acceleration: g = 9.8 m/s 2, air resistance proportionality constant: K = 110 kg/s. » 0000003811 00000 n

Home APPLICATIONS OF SECOND-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS Second-order linear differential equations have a variety of applications in science and engineering. At the relatively low speeds attained with an open parachute, the force due to air resistance was given as Kv, which is proportional to the velocity.). Therefore, the spring is said to exert arestoring force, since it always tries to restore the block to its equilibrium position (the position where the spring is neither stretched nor compressed).

And because ω is necessarily positive, This value of ω is called the resonant angular frequency. Therefore, it makes no difference whether the block oscillates with an amplitude of 2 cm or 10 cm; the period will be the same in either case.
