Hi, I have been looking for formulae for the damping coefficient, and I found two different formulae for it.
http://www.xyobalancer.com/xyo-balancer-blog/viscous-damping-coefficient
This webpage states that damping force, Fd is given by Fd=-cv, where c is the damping coefficient while v is the velocity.
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/oscda.html
However, this page states that damping coefficient is given by c/2m, where c=-Fd/v
Is there a fixed definition for damping coefficient, or are both definitions acceptable?
