Wave Mechanics Question 606
A block connected to a spring oscillates vertically. A damping force $ F _{d} $ acts on the block by the surrounding medium. Given as $ F _{d}=-bv $, where $ v $ is the velocity of the block, $ b $ is a positive constant which depends on :
Options:
A) viscosity of the medium
B) dimension of the block
C) shape of the block
D) All of these are correct.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ F=-bV $ , b depends on all the three i.e. shape and size of the block and viscosity of the medium.
