 Title: Driven pendulum (forced oscillation) Post by: ahmedelshfie on April 25, 2010, 12:40:48 am This applet created by Prof HwangModified by AhmedOriginal project Driven pendulum (forced oscillation) (http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=1597)There are three springs all driven by external force with different frequency.The resonance frequency is determined by $\omega_0=\sqrt{k/m}$ where k is the spring constant, m is the mass (k,m can be adjusted with slider). When sync check box is checked:The driven frequency for left spring is $ratio*w_0$,The driven frequency for center spring is $w_0$,The driven frequency for right spring is $ratio/w_0$.You can find the phase between oscillation and external force.A damping force is introduced to prevent the amplitude become infinity.
