1st step All steps Answer only

Step 1

Draw the free body diagram of the system:

Explanation:

In this step to draw the free body diagram of the system.

Step 2

a). Derive the expression for the damping ratio:

2
m ddtx2 + C dx
dt
+ kx = 0
d2 x C dx
dt 2
+(m ) dt + ( mk )x = 0
Now comparing with general equation,
d2 x
dt 2
+ 2ξω n dx
dt
= ω 2n x = 0
the damping ratio 2ξω n = m C and k
m
= ω 2n then,
2ξ√ mk = C
m
c
ξ= m
2√ k
m
C
ξ= 2√km

Explanation:

In this step to derive the expression for the damping ratio.

Step 3

b). Derive the expression for damped natural frequency:

ω d = ω n √1 − ξ 2

= √ √1 − (
2
k C
)
m 2√km

k√
=√
C2
1−
m 4km

Explanation:

In this step to derive the expression for damped natural frequency.

Step 4

c). Calculate the value of the critical damping coefficient:

C
ξ=
CC
C
CC =
ξ
C
= C
2√km

= 2√km

Explanation:

In this step to calculate the value of the critical damping coefficient.

Answer

a). ξ = C
2√km

b). ω d = √ m
k √
1− C2
4km
c). C C = 2√km
