- I'm just curious to know that how a sinusoidal 'push' could be used for a swing. I was trying to solve another problem but I believe knowing this could help me to solve the other problem.
Hi,
Please have a look on the attachment. The displacement of swing from the equilibrium position, x=0, is considered to be maximum, +x, when the swing reaches the person who is pushing it. The pushing force is of short duration and could be approximated by a pulse. I hope I have it correct.
How can sinusoidal force be applied instead of pulses? I think it would require some kind of a motorized mechanism but I can't imagine it would work or implemented. Could you please help me with it?
