Question
a. Critically damped solutions of the mass-on-a-spring equation
mu" + yu' + ku = 0
exhibit sustained, long-term oscillations.
TRUE
FALSE
b. The displacement of an underdamped mass-spring system is a quasi-periodic
function (i.e. it shows periodic-like motion, but it is not truly periodic because its
amplitude is decreasing so it does not exactly repeat itself). It is oscillating at
quasi-frequency, which is u radians per second. (It's just the frequency of the
sinusoidal components of the displacement.) The peak- to-peak time of the
oscillation is the quasi-period. The quasi-period of a mass undergoing damped free
vibrations is the inverse of the natural period of the corresponding undamped
system.
TRUE
FALSE
