Question

H6.

Pianos have two or three strings for each note. A piano tuning system called

beats occurs as a forced undamped oscillator model when the frequency of

excitation is almost equal to the natural frequency of vibration. Suppose the natural frequency

of the oscillator is exactly 1/? and that the frequency of the driving function is (1 + ?)/?

where ? is a small number, either positive or negative.

 

a) Write a differential equation with the assumed characteristics.

 

b) Find the general solution of the differential equation written in item a) when ? = −0.1
