Damped oscillations — UPSC Physics Optional IFoS 2011 Paper I

In the steady state forced vibration of the damped harmonic oscillator, show that the amplitude of the driven system is maximum when p = \sqrt{\omega^2 - 2b^2} and further the value of the maximum amplitude is \frac{f}{2b \sqrt{\omega^2 - b^2}}, where the symbols have their usual significance. (Here you start from the steady state solution)
