In damped SHM, the SI unit of damping constant is

Options

  1. AN s
  2. Bk g s
  3. Ck g m
  4. DN m

Correct answer

B. k g s

Step-by-step solution

In damped SHM, damping force is proportional to the velocity of the oscillator. ∴ Damping constant, b = F d v SI unit of damping constant b = S I u n i t o f f o c e S I u n i t o f v e l o c i t y = k g . m . s 2 m . s - 1 = k g . s - 1 = k g s Hence, the SI unit of damping constant is kg/s.
