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.
