Damped and Forced Oscillations, Resonance
 

Damped and Forced Oscillations, Resonance problem 3


A simple pendulum oscillates with an amplitude of 12 cm and a period of 0.5 s. The oscillation is damped. The damping factor is . How does the total energy of the pendulum change as it oscillates? Draw the graph for the first six oscillations.
