Homework Statement
A sinusoidally varying driving force is applied to a damped harmonic oscillator of force constant k and mass m. If the damping constant has a value b_1, the amplitude is A_1 when the driving angular frequency equals sqrt (k/m).
In terms of A_1, what is the amplitude for the same driving frequency and the same driving force amplitude F_{max}, if the damping constant is 3b?
In terms of A_1, what is the amplitude for the same driving frequency and the same driving force amplitude F_{max}, if the damping constant is (1/2)b?
Homework Equations
A= (Fmax/(sqrt(k-mw^2)^2+(b^2w^2))
w= omega
The Attempt at a Solution
I try to put in the the b values but it is saying it is incorrect.
