Units & Dimensions

The damping force on an oscillator is directly proportional to the velocity. The units of the constant of proportionality are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. F=kv⇒k=FvF = kv \Rightarrow k = \frac{F}{v}
  2. k→kg m s−2m s−1=kg s−1k \to \frac{\text{kg m s}^{-2}}{\text{m s}^{-1}} = \text{kg s}^{-1}
  3. So the answer is (c) kg s−1\text{kg s}^{-1}.
