JEE Main2014PhysicsOscillationsActual
The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by, = ( k m - r ^2 4 ~m ^2 ) where k is the spring constant, m is the mass of the oscillator and r is the damping constant. If the ratio r^2 mk is 8 % , the change in time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows:
Options
- Aincreases by 1 %
- Bincreases by 8 %
- Cdecreases by 1 %
- Ddecreases by 8 %
Correct answer
A. increases by 1 %
Step-by-step solution
The change in time period compared to the undamped oscillator increases by 1 % .
