Question 1

A damped SDOF system has a mass of 3 kg, a damping coefficient of 0.6 N·s/m, and a stiffness of 12 N/m. Calculate the critical damping ratio and interpret its significance.

💡 Hint: Utilize the formula for damping ratio and evaluate the system's behavior.

Question 2

If you increase the damping coefficient in a system while keeping mass and stiffness constant, describe the effect on the oscillation frequency and stability.

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between damping, frequency, and stability performance.
