Get started for freeConsider an equation for damped forced vibrations (mechanical or electrical) in which the right-hand side is a sum of several forces or emfs of different frequencies. For example, in (6.32) let the right-hand side be ,
Write the solution by the principle of superposition. Suppose, for giventhat we adjust the system so that ; show that the principal term in the solution is then the first one. Thus, the system acts as a "filter" to select vibrations of one frequency from a given set (for example, a radio tuned to one station selects principally the vibrations of the frequency of that station).
Solve by use of Fourier series. Assume in each case that the right-hand side is a periodic function whose values are stated for one period.
By using Laplace transforms, solve the following differential equations subject to the given initial conditions.

Find the orthogonal trajectories of each of the following families of curves. In each case, sketch or computer plot several of the given curves and several of their orthogonal trajectories. Be careful to eliminate the constant from for the original curves; this constant takes different values for different curves of the original family, and you want an expression for which is valid for all curves of the family crossed by the orthogonal trajectory you are trying to find. See equations to .
