0.1
With the following Fourier series representation of the input
f(t) = 0.5 sin4t + 2 sin8t + 0.02 sin12t + 0.03 sin16t + …

a) Find the bandwidth of the system
b) Plot the amplitude spectrum of the input.
c) Find the steady‐state response y(t) by considering only those components of the f(t)
expansion that lie within the bandwidth of the system.

5.25 Figure is a simplified representation of a vehicle striking a bump. The vertical displacement x
is 0 when the tire first meets the bump. Assuming that the vehicle’s horizontal speed v remains 
constant and that the system is critically damped, obtain the expression for x(t).

steady‐state displacement x(t).
