Re: [femm] Re: Lorentz force

Yes, for a 60 Hz system, the 2X part of the force would lead to 
vibrations at 120 Hz. The amplitude of the 2X mechanical vibration is 
related to the dynamics of the mechanical system. Often, the mechanical 
system might be just a mass. However, one could imagine pathological 
situations in which the mechanical system has a resonance at the 2X 
frequency--it just depends on the mechanical system.
