A mass m moves in one dimension x subject to a restoring force -kx and a damping force -γ[(x)dot]. What are the conditions for underdamped oscillations, overdamped oscillations, and critical damping?
A) Now, suppose m is 1.02 kg, γ is 0.90 kg/s, and the oscillations are critically damped. What is k?
The object starts at rest, displaced by some amount
B) At what time is the displacement a/2?
