Which of the following statements are TRUE for damped vibrations?
(P) . For a system having critical damping, the value of the damping ratio is unity and system
does not undergo a vibratory motion.
(Q) . Logarithmic decrement method is used to determine the amount of damping in a physical
system.
(R) . In case of damping due to dry friction between moving surfaces resisting force of
constant magnitude acts opposite to the relative motion.
(S) . For the case of viscous damping, drag force is directly proportional to the square of
relative velocity. *
