Wave Mechanics Question 606

Question: 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}=-bVb $ is a positive constant which depends on :

Options:

A) viscosity of the medium

B) size of the block

C) shape of the block

D) All of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ F=-bV $ , b depends on all the three i.e. shape and size of he block and viscosity of the medium.
