Answer to Problem 5.45P

The rate at which F(t) does the work is P(t)=F0Aωcos2ωtsinδF0Aωcosωtsinωtcosδ

And average power is P=mβω2A2.

Explanation of Solution

Write the mathematical equation of force driven to the oscillator

    F(t)=F0cosωt        (I)

Here F0 is the amplitude of the force and t is the time.

The equation for displacement of damped oscillation is given by

    x(t)=Acos(ωtδ)        (II)

Here A is the amplitude.

Write the equation for amplitude of an oscillator driven by a sinusoidal force with variable frequency

  A2=f02(ω02ω2)2+4β2ω2

Differentiate (II)

  ddtx(t)=ddt(Acos(ωtδ))v(t)=Aωsin(ωtδ)

The rate at which force does work is equal to the product of force and velocity.

Then,

    P(t)=F(t)v(t)=F0cosωt(Aωsin(ωtδ))=F0Aωcosωtsin(ωtδ)

Since sin(ab)=sinacosbcosasinb

    P(t)=F0Aωcosωt(sinωtcosδcosωtsinδ)=F0Aωcos2ωtsinδF0Aωcosωtsinωtcosδ

The average rate of work done is given by

    P=1τ0τP(t)dt=1τ0τ(F0Aωcos2ωtsinδF0Aωcosωtsinωtcosδ)dt=1τ[F0Aωsinδ0τcos2ωtF0Aωcosδ0τcosωtsinωt]

For one complete cycle, 0Tsinωtcosωtdt=0 and 0Tcos2ωt=τ2

    P=[F0Aωsinδ(1τ)(0)F0Aωcosδ(1τ)(τ2)]=12F0Aωsinδ

But tanδ=2βωω02ω2

So,

    sinδ=2βω(ω02ω2)2+4β2ω2

If number of cycles completed by the oscillator is m,

    F(t)=mf(t)F0cosωt=mf0cosωtF0=mf0

Then,

    P=12mf0Aω(2βω(ω02ω2)2+4β2ω2)=mω2βAf0(ω02ω2)2+4β2ω2=mω2βA2

Conclusion:

The rate at which F(t) does the work is P(t)=F0Aωcos2ωtsinδF0Aωcosωtsinωtcosδ

And average power is P=mβω2A2.

Answer to Problem 5.45P

The average rate of work done over any number of complete cycles is equal to the average rate at which energy is lost to the resistive force.

Explanation of Solution

Average rate at which energy lost to the resistive force is,

  P'=(resistiveforce)(velocity)

Resistive force is proportional to the velocity

    resistiveforce=bv=2βmv

Substitute 2βmv for resistiveforce and dx/dt for velocity

    P'=2βm(dxdt)(dxdt)=2βm(dxdt)2=2βm(ddt(Acos(ωtδ)))2=2mA2ω2βsin2(ωtδ)

Average rate at which energy lost to the resistive force is,

    P'=1τ0τp'dt=1τ0τ2mA2ω2βsin2(ωtδ)dt=2mA2ω2β1τ0τsin2(ωtδ)dt

The value of integration 0τsin2(ωtδ)dt=τ2

Then,

    P'=2mA2ω2β1τ(τ2)=2mA2ω2β=P

Conclusion:

The average rate of work done over any number of complete cycles is equal to the average rate at which energy is lost to the resistive force.

Answer to Problem 5.45P

P is maximum when ω=ω0 or resonance of power occur at ω=ω0

Explanation of Solution

The average rate at which the force does the work is

    P=mβω2A2=mβω2A2

Substitute for A

    P=mβω2f02(ω02ω2)2+4β2ω2

For maximum value of P, the value in the denominator should be as minimum as β and ω, and should be non-zero.

  ω02ω2=0ω0=ω

Conclusion:

Therefore, P is maximum when ω=ω0 or resonance of power occur at ω=ω0
