Which of the following statements regarding damping force of a damped oscillator is NOT correct?
- A Damping force depends on the nature of the surrunding medium.
- B Damping force is generally proportional to the velucity of the body making oscillations.
- C Damping force acts in the direction of the velocity of the budy.
- D Ratio of the damping force and velocity of the body depends on the size and shape of the body.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Damping force acts in the direction of the velocity of the budy.
