Critical Damping Coefficient given Spring Constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Critical Damping Coefficient = 2*sqrt(Spring Constant/Mass suspended from spring)
c_c = 2*sqrt(K_spring/m_spring)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Critical Damping Coefficient - (Measured in Newton Second per Meter) - Critical Damping Coefficient is the minimum amount of damping required to prevent oscillations in a system undergoing free longitudinal vibrations.
Spring Constant - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Spring Constant is a measure of the stiffness of a spring, defining the amount of force required to stretch or compress it by a unit distance.
Mass suspended from spring - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass suspended from spring is the amount of mass attached to the spring, affecting the natural frequency of free longitudinal vibrations of the spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Spring Constant: 51 Newton per Meter --> 51 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Mass suspended from spring: 0.25 Kilogram --> 0.25 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

What is critical damping coefficient?

Critical damping provides the quickest approach to zero amplitude for a damped oscillator. With more damping (overdamping), the approach to zero is slower. Critical damping occurs when the damping coefficient is equal to the undamped resonant frequency of the oscillator.

What is critical damping and what is its importance?

Critical Damping is important so as to prevent a large number of oscillations and there being too long a time when the system cannot respond to further disturbances. Instruments such as balances and electrical meters are critically damped so that the pointer moves quickly to the correct position without oscillating.
