Tue 11/21; Physics Marris 7b; Oscillating masses
Top - Prof Marris demonstrates the different normal modes predicted by the equations, using a forced oscillator and 4 masses connected by identical springs. The equations predicted the amplitude of oscillation, as well as the phase variation. Bottom - Using the same equations to describe the waves in a string.
The solution to these equations as a little messy; not precisely an analytic solution. For some reason I wasn't too interested in the actual math but I liked the demonstration.
