Question

Which of the following statements are TRUE for damped vibrations?
P. For a system having critical damping, the value of damping ratio is unity and system does not undergo a vibratiory motion.
Q. Logarithmic decrement method is used to determine the amount of damping in a physical system.
R. In case of damping due to dry friction between moving surfaces, resisting force of constant magnitude acts opposite to the relative motion.
S. For the case of viscous damping, drag force is directly proportional to the square of relative velocity.

• A. P and Q only
• B. P and S only
• C. P, Q and R only
• D. Q and S only

Answer 1

The correct option is C P, Q and R only

P, Q, R are the right statements.

S : for viscous damping, drag force is directly proportional to the relative velocity.
$f_D=C.V$
