Answer:
The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when > 0.86
The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when = 0.86
The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when < 0.86
Explanation:
Using the newton second law
k is the spring constante
b positive damping constant
m mass attached
x(t) is the displacement from the equilibrium position
Converting units of weights in units of mass (equation of motion)
From hook's law we can calculate the spring constant k
If we put m and k into the DE, we get
Denoting the constants
2λ = =
λ = b/0.215
λ^2 - w^2 =
This way,
The motion is over-damped when λ^2 - w^2 > 0 or when > 0.86
The motion is critically when λ^2 - w^2 = 0 or when = 0.86
The motion is under-damped when λ^2 - w^2 < 0 or when < 0.86
