General Studies · Mechanical Vibrations
For a spring-mass-damper system with natural frequency ωn = 10 rad/s, mass m = 1 kg, stiffness k = 100 N/m, and damping coefficient c = 4 N·s/m, the damping ratio (ζ) indicates that the system is:
- 1Critically damped (ζ = 1)
- 2Overdamped (ζ > 1)✓
- 3Undamped (ζ = 0)
- 4Underdamped (ζ < 1)
Correct answer
Overdamped (ζ > 1)
