Question

7. (a) Explain what is meant by damped harmonic motion, and write down a differential equation describing this phenomenon b) Give an example of a damped harmonic oscillator in practice. Sketch the oscilla- tions it undergoes, and calculate their frequency and damping rate for a natural (undamped) frequency wo 10 Hz and damping coefficient γ-: 2.0 s-1
