Question
A suspension bridge oscillates with an effective force of 1 * 10^8 N/m. How much energy is needed to make it oscilate with an amplitude of .1 m? If soldiers march across the bridge's natural frequency and impart 1*10^4 j of energy each second, how long does it take for the bridges oscilations to go from .1 m to .5 m amplitude?
