20 Questions around this concept.
The resultant equation in damped motion is given by
Free\undamped oscillation-
Damped oscillation-
where
Or using
where
we can write, The equation of motion of Damped oscillation as
The solution of the above differential equation will give us the formula of
where
- The amplitude in damped oscillation decreases continuously with time according to
- The energy in damped oscillation decreases continuously with time according to
- Critical damping- The condition in which the damping of an oscillator causes it to return as quickly as possible to its equilibrium position without oscillating back and forth about this position.
Critical damping happens at
