Problem

The oscillation, as seen from the solution of problem 3.5.32, is accompanied by beating. When ω\omega →\rightarrow ω0\omega_0, the range of beats grows indefinitely, but their period, and hence the rise time, grows indefinitely. Let the time elapsed since the forcing force began is much less than 2π∣ω−ω0∣\frac{2\pi}{|\omega-\omega_0|}. Use the approximation sinε\varepsilon ≈\approx ε\varepsilon for (ε\varepsilon ≪\ll 1) and determine the nature of the oscillation swing in this case.
