9. The equations for a mechanical vibration problem are found to have the following
mathematical solution
eiωt
z(t) = �
ω02 − ω 2 + iγ
where t represents time and ω, ω0 and γ are all positive real physical constants. Although
z(t) is complex and cannot directly represent a physical solution, it turns out that the real
and imaginary parts x(t) and y(t) in z(t) = x(t) + iy(t) can. Polar notation can be used
to extract this physical information efficiently as follows.
