What Is The Equation For Damped Simple Harmonic Motion?
The motion in which acceleration in the body is directly proportional to the displacement and its direction is towards mean position is called simple harmonic motion. If a force of friction is present, then the motion of a harmonic oscillator is damped by the friction and is called damped harmonic motion. The resistive or frictional force in a damped oscillator is called damping force. The net force on the oscillating body is the sum of restoring force ‘-kx’ and the damping force ‘-bv’.
