A mass of 85 kg is supported on springs which deflect 18 mm under the weight of the mass. The vibrations of the mass are constrained to be linear and vertical and are damped by a dashpot which reduces the amplitude to one quarter of its initial value in two complete oscillations. Find : 1. the magnitude of the damping force at unit speed, and 2. the periodic time of damped vibration.

Question

A mass of 85 kg is supported on springs which deflect 18 mm under the weight of the mass. The
vibrations of the mass are constrained to be linear and vertical and are damped by a dashpot which
reduces the amplitude to one quarter of its initial value in two complete oscillations. Find : 1. the
magnitude of the damping force at unit speed, and 2. the periodic time of damped vibration.
