AI Thread Summary
Finding a damper with a specific coefficient (c) that fits a given vibration equation can be challenging, as most specifications do not directly list this parameter. Users often encounter a variety of other parameters instead of the desired coefficient. To resolve this issue, it is important to understand how to interpret damper specifications and relate them to the equation's requirements. Additionally, calculating the damper force (F) from available specifications can also be problematic. Clearer guidelines or examples of how to identify the correct damper specifications would be beneficial.

Lets assume a simple situation where there is a spring and a damper connected in parallel.
We place some weight above them and begin the vibrations.
The equation will then be:

Mx'' = -kx -cx' -Mg
So, I want to find a damper with a certain coeffitient c.
I mean, that I want to find a real damper, that will fit that equation with the c parameter.
I just fix a value of c = const, which satisfies me, and the I want to test my system with a real damper. The problem is that I can't find the needed specification in all specifications of dampers I've looked at, I want to see something like this:
The linear damper has the parameter c = some constant. Or something like that.
Instead of it I see many other parameter. Can anybody help me to find out how to resolve my problem? Or I also would like, if possible to get the damper force F from that specifications, but I can;t see it also. In the equation the damper force will be F = -cx'

Sorry, you have to be more specific.

All of the above are too vague for us to understand what your problem is and how we can help you with it.
 
Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Thread 'A scenario of non-uniform circular motion'
(All the needed diagrams are posted below) My friend came up with the following scenario. Imagine a fixed point and a perfectly rigid rod of a certain length extending radially outwards from this fixed point(it is attached to the fixed point). To the free end of the fixed rod, an object is present and it is capable of changing it's speed(by thruster say or any convenient method. And ignore any resistance). It starts with a certain speed but say it's speed continuously increases as it goes...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
