The damped SHM , the SI unit of damping constant is 


A) $\frac{N}{s}$

B) $\frac{kg}{s}$

C) $\frac{kg}{m}$

D) $\frac{N}{m}$

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

In damped SHM, damping force is  proportional to the velocity of the oscillator

i.e,     $F_{d}\propto v=F_{d}=bv$

 where, b is a damping constant

 $\therefore$ Damping constant , b$=\frac{F_{d}}{v}$

 SI unit of damoing constant

 b= SI unit of force / SI unit of velocity $=\frac{kg.m.s^{-2}}{m.s^{-1}}$

 = kg. s-1= kg/s
