Chapter 3, Problem 3.34P
Consider an undamped linear oscillator with a natural frequency ω0 = 0.5 rad/s and the step function a = 1 m/s2. Calculate and sketch the response function for an impulse forcing function acting for a time τ = 2π/ω0. Give a physical interpretation of the results.

The position of the particle as a function of time is given by x = Acos(?t + ?). Its velocity and acceleration functions can be found by taking successive time derivatives of the position function. The initial position and velocity yield two equations from which to determine the amplitude and phase constant.
An object is attached to a coiled spring. The object is pulled down (negative direction from the rest position) 9 centimeters, and then released. Write an equation for the distance d of the object from its rest position, after t seconds if the amplitude is 9 centimeters and the period is 6 seconds.
The equation for the distance d of the object from its rest position is

It was true in the linear case. Which of the statements below are true when it comes to non-linear oscillations? The expression still works, what changes is the independence of the modes. It is still true in the non-linear case. O The only difference is that the amplitude in each mode depends on the energies in the other modes. O The expression still works. We just need to take into account the non-linear interactions between modes in the system to compute the energy in each mode at the beginning, and then we have solved the problem for all times.
