3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are the three key components of a mass-spring-damper system?
Think about the components we discussed relating to forces.
What does the spring constant measure?
Recall how a spring reacts when stretched.
What is the primary function of the mass in a mass-spring-damper system?
Remember what happens to the mass when a force is applied.
True or False: The spring constant indicates how much a spring resists being compressed.
Consider what happens when you push or pull a spring.
Considering a mass-spring-damper system with a mass of 2 kg, damping coefficient of 3 N·s/m, and spring constant of 4 N/m, derive the equation of motion.
Use Newton's second law to balance forces.
If you increase the damping coefficient in the mass-spring-damper system, what will be the effect on oscillations and settling time? Justify your answer.
Think about how damping affects vibrations or oscillations in real-life systems.
