Free Oscillations of a Linear
Oscillator

1.2 Review of the Principal Formulas

The differential equation of a free linear torsion oscillator:

ϕ¨ + 2γϕ˙ + ω 2
0 ϕ = 0. (1.1)

The frequency and the period of√free oscillations without friction (at γ ≪ ω0):
D 2π
ω0 = , T0 = . (1.2)
J ω0
An oscillatory solution (valid at γ < ω0):

ϕ(t) = A0e−γt cos(ω1t + δ0), (1.3)

where the constants A0 and δ0 are determined by the initial conditions ϕ(0), ϕ˙(0).
The frequency ω1 of damped oscillations

ω1 = ω20 − γ2. (1.4)

An equivalent form of the general solution:

ϕ(t) = e γt
(C cos ω1t + S sin ω1t), (1.5)

where the constants C and S are determined by the initial conditions. They are
related to A0 and δ0:

A0 = C2 + S2, tan δ0 = −S/C. (1.6)
