= Resonance of a pressure-forced rectangular surface-gravity mode

Pressure forcing of one rectangular free-surface mode reduces its amplitude to
$$
H''+gkH=-\frac{kp_0}{\rho}\cos(\omega t).
$$
At $\omega=\sqrt{gk}$, the inviscid undamped response contains $t\sin(\omega t)$ and grows without bound in the linear model.
