Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the damping ratio for critically damped oscillation?
  • Step 1: Understand what damping means. Damping refers to how oscillations in a system decrease over time.
  • Step 2: Learn about the types of damping. There are three types: underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped.
  • Step 3: Focus on critically damped systems. A critically damped system is one that returns to its starting position as quickly as possible without oscillating.
  • Step 4: Identify the damping ratio. The damping ratio is a number that describes how much damping is in the system.
  • Step 5: Know the value for critically damped systems. For critically damped oscillation, the damping ratio is exactly 1.
