A vehicle suspension system consists of a spring and a damper. The stiffness of the spring is 3.6 kN/m and the damping constant of the damper is 400 Ns/m. If the mass is 50 kg, then the damping factor (d) and damped natural frequency (fn), respectively, are
-
- 0.471 and 1.19 Hz
- 0.471 and 7.48 Hz
- 0.666 and 1.35 Hz
- 0.666 and 8.50 Hz
Correct Option: A
Damping factor

= | = 0.741 | 2√50 × 3.6 × 103 |
ωd = (√1 - ξ2)ωn
ωd = √1 - (471)2× 8.481
ωd = 7.48
