Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An engineer is analyzing a vehicle's shock absorber system, which has a damping ratio of 2 and a natural frequency of 3 rad/s. What type of damping is present? Explain your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Compare the damping ratio to the natural frequency.

Question 2

A system with a mass of 4 kg and a damping coefficient of 8 Ns/m has been observed. Calculate the damping ratio and determine whether the system is over, under, or critically damped.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula for damping ratio relating to mass and natural frequency.
