Harmonic Force Excitation summary

The video tutorial explains the motion of a spring mass damper system with an external sinusoidal force. It derives the equation of motion using F=MA and discusses the total response, which includes transient and steady state responses. The transient response diminishes over time, while the steady state response remains constant. The tutorial also covers the steady state amplitude, resonance, and steady state phase, emphasizing the importance of avoiding resonance in engineering applications.

Explain the significance of the parameters F0 and Omega in the context of the external force.

What is the equation of motion for a spring mass damper system with an external force acting on it?

What are the two main parts of the total response in a spring mass damper system?

Describe the behavior of the steady state response compared to the transient response.

What is resonance in the context of a spring mass damper system, and why do engineers want to avoid it?
