Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.
Question 1
Easy
Define inertia in your own words. What does it reflect in a physical context?
💡 Hint: Think about how an object behaves when at rest versus when it is in motion.
Question 2
Easy
What is damping in the context of structural engineering?
💡 Hint: Consider why a structure needs to not vibrate indefinitely.

Interactive Quizzes
Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.
Question 1
What does inertia describe in physics?
💡 Hint: Consider how objects react when at rest or in motion.
Question 2
Damping is necessary in structures primarily because:
- A) It increases the vibrations.
- B) It prevents indefinite oscillation.
- C) It adds weight to the structure.
💡 Hint: Think about what would happen if vibrations never ceased.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A structure experiences ground motion with a mass of 2000 kg, resulting in an acceleration of 3 m/s². Calculate the inertia force.
💡 Hint: Remember the inertia force formula.
Question 2
Given a damping ratio of 0.5, how would this influence the behavior of a structural system during an earthquake? Discuss its significance in terms of safety.
💡 Hint: Think about how different damping ratios change the system's response.
