Question 1

What is the behavior of an underdamped system?

  • Continues indefinitely
  • Decays over time
  • Returns to rest instantly

💡 Hint: Consider the time aspect of the vibrations.

Question 2

True or False: An overdamped system oscillates before returning to equilibrium.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of how the system returns to its starting point.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass-spring-damper system has m = 2 kg, c = 2 Ns/m, and k = 8 N/m. Calculate the damping ratio and describe how the system behaves.

💡 Hint: Remember to analyze each term in the damping ratio formula.

Question 2

Consider a critically damped system affected by a sudden force. Discuss how it behaves compared to an underdamped system under the same conditions.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the definitions and effects of critical vs. underdamped systems.
