        A particle of mass m is attached to a spring (of spring constant k) and has a natural angular frequency\[{{\omega }_{0}}\]. An external force F(t) proportional to\[\cos \omega t(\omega \ne {{\omega }_{0}})\]is applied to the oscillator. The time displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to

    A)  \[\frac{m}{\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}}}\]                               

    B)  \[\frac{1}{m(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{m(\omega _{0}^{2}+{{\omega }^{2}})}\]        

    D)  \[\frac{m}{\omega _{0}^{2}+{{\omega }^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Initial angular velocity of particle\[={{\omega }_{0}}\] and at any instant t, angular velocity\[=\omega \] Therefore, for a displacement\[x,\]the resultant acceleration \[f=(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})x\]                                    ...(i) External force \[F=m(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})x\]                         ?(ii) Since,      \[F\propto \cos \omega t\]                                   (given) \[\therefore \]From Eq. (ii) \[m(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})x\propto \cos \omega t\]                    ...(iii) Now, equation of simple harmonic motion                 \[x=A\sin (\omega t+\phi )\] at            \[t=0;x=A\] \[\therefore \]  \[A=A\sin (0+\phi )\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\phi =\frac{\pi }{2}\] \[\therefore \]  \[x=A\sin \left( \omega t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)=A\cos \omega t\] Hence, from Eqs. (iii) and (v), we finally get \[m(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})A\cos \omega t\propto \cos \omega t\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[A\propto \frac{1}{m(\omega _{0}^{2}-{{\omega }^{2}})}\]
