Time-Dependent Forces:

                    The forces, which depend upon time as well as position, are called time-dependent forces. The example of such kind of forces can be the spring force, which is proportional to the displacement but in opposite direction and is expressed as:



The force is expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Thus, this expression can be simplified, giving us the acceleration of the object in terms of displacement: a(t) = − ω2x(t)



Since, Fs=ma(t) = −m ω2x(t) & x(t) = Asin (ωt) is time dependent, so the force will be time dependent i.e d(Fs)/dt= -m ω2d(x)/dt is not zero.
