Question

What is damped free vibration?

Answer 1

1. Damped free vibration describes the mobility of an object without any externally applied force.
2. Because there is no external energy source to drive the vibration after the quick blow that launched it, it is called free vibration.
3. The vibration is referred to as damped when its energy decreases with time and come to stop after some time.
4. Damped vibrations are periodic vibrations of a body with diminishing amplitude in the presence of a resistance force.
5. Damped vibrations include music produced by a tuning fork across greater distances.
6. In the absence of an external force, all vibrations on the earth's surface are damped free vibrations.
