TopicSecond order differential equations
TypeParticular solution with initial conditions
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a Further Maths second-order differential equation requiring both complementary function (complex roots) and particular integral (for forced oscillation), then applying initial conditions. The multi-step process and Further Maths context place it moderately above average difficulty, though it follows a standard method once learned.

11 A particle is suspended in a resistive medium from one end of a light spring. The other end of the spring is attached to a point which is made to oscillate in a vertical line. The displacement of the particle may be modelled by the differential equation \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } x } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 2 \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 5 x = 10 \sin t\) where \(x\) is the displacement of the particle below the equilibrium position at time \(t\).
When \(t = 0\) the particle is stationary and its displacement is 2 .
  1. Find the particular solution of the differential equation.
  2. Write down an approximate equation for the displacement when \(t\) is large.

The displacement of the particle may be modelled by the differential equation $\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } x } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 2 \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 5 x = 10 \sin t$\\
where $x$ is the displacement of the particle below the equilibrium position at time $t$.\\
When $t = 0$ the particle is stationary and its displacement is 2 .
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Find the particular solution of the differential equation.
\item Write down an approximate equation for the displacement when $t$ is large.
