Driven harmonic oscillator edit edit source the restoring force is the force that works on the object towards the equilibrium, and its directly proportional to the distance from the equilibrium. Try starting with a solution which fits the initial condition xo0, so that i cannot blow up at t0. When a damped oscillator is subject to a damping force which is linearly dependent upon the velocity, such as viscous damping, the oscillation will have exponential decay terms which depend upon a damping coefficient.
