Damped and Forced Oscillations, Resonance
 

Damped and Forced Oscillations, Resonance problem 10


The resonance curve of a simple pendulum is shown below:




  • What does the resonance curve show and what does the amplitude reached by the pendulum in resonance depend on?

  • Determine the oscillation period of the pendulum.

  • Determine the length of the pendulum.

  • What would the forcing frequency have to be for resonance to occur if the length of the pendulum were halved?
