9. V 0 real, constant, and known But now q 0 is complex: This solution makes sure q(t) is oscillatory (and at the same frequency as F ext ), but may not be in phase with the driving force. Task #1: Substitute this assumed form into the equation of motion, and find the values of |q 0 | and  q  in terms of the known quantities. Note that these constants depend on driving frequency  (but not on t – that's why they're "constants"). How does the shape vary with  9 Let's assume this form for q(t)

10. Assume V 0 real, and constant Task #2: In the lab, you'll actually measure I (current) or dq/dt. So let's look at that: Having found q(t), find I(t) and think about how the shape of the amplitude and phase of I change with frequency. 10
