Question 1
A 4 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 16 N/m and a damping coefficient of 4 Ns/m. Determine if the system is under-damped, critically damped, or over-damped, and justify your answer.
π‘ Hint: Use definitions, don't forget to calculate both \\( \\gamma \\) and \\( \\omega_0 \\).
Question 2
Design a critically damped system with a given mass of 5 kg and specify the required damping coefficient for a spring constant of 25 N/m.
π‘ Hint: Use the relationship for critical damping where \\( b = 2m\\omega_0 \\) for a mass-spring system.
