Lecture

Potential Energy, Mechanical Energy, and Resonance

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of potential energy, mechanical energy, and resonance. It discusses topics such as forced harmonic oscillators, transient and steady-state regimes, harmonic response, and real-life examples like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse due to resonance. The instructor explains the behavior of mechanical systems under different forces, the formation of standing waves during resonance, and the impact of damping on oscillatory systems.
