Homework Statement Two identical masses with a mass of m each are connected by a rigid bar of negligible mass and rotate in a vertical plane in an anti-clockwise direction. Homework Equations If the system is released from rest when it is in a horizontal position, determine the...

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can. It's just a matter of finding out how to incorporate it into the calculations.

Hi SammyS! I just had another look around for the appropraite methods in relation to my question, and have figured out how to calculate the damping ratio: Ratio = damping coefficient/(2√km) = 200/(2√(1500×150)) = 0.21 In regards to the other sections, I'm afraid...

Homework Statement A spring-mass-damper system has a mass of 150 kg, a stiffness of 1500 N/m, and a damping coefficient of 200 kg/s. Homework Equations (a) Calculate the undamped natural frequency, the damping ratio, and the damped natural frequency. (b) Is the system overdamped...
