In damped SHM, the SI unit of damping constant is (a) N/s (b) kg/s (c) kg/m (d) N/m

Answer: (b). b = F/v, unit N/m/s = kg m s⁻²m s⁻¹ = kg/s So the answer is (b).

In damped SHM, the SI unit of damping constant is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$b = \frac{F}{v}$ , unit $\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m/s}} = \frac{\text{kg m s}^{-2}}{\text{m s}^{-1}} = \frac{\text{kg}}{\text{s}}$
So the answer is (b).
