question 51

Multiple Choice

A sinusoidal force with a given amplitude is applied to an oscillator.To maintain the largest amplitude oscillation the frequency of the applied force should be:

• A)half the natural frequency of the oscillator
• B)the same as the natural frequency of the oscillator
• C)twice the natural frequency of the oscillator
• D)unrelated to the natural frequency of the oscillator
• E)determined from the maximum speed desired
