Concept explainers
Oscillator equation A mechanical oscillator (such as a mass on a spring or a pendulum) subject to frictional forces satisfies the equation (called a differential equation)
where y is the displacement of the oscillator from its equilibrium position. Verify by substitution that the function y(t)= e−t (sin 2t − 2 cos 2t) satisfies this equation.
