Need help with this Undergraduate problem where two dampers are in series.

For a vertical spring/damper system with mass (M) and a harmonic forcing function, Fmax Cos [omega x t] , two dampers are in series with coefficients, C1 and C2, and a single spring with constant, k.

Determine the amplitude of the steady-state displacement.

Determine the critical damping coefficient, Ccr.

  • Degrees of freedom of diatomic molecule and Fermi energy

    Then, since there must be 6 degrees of freedom in total, that leaves us with one degree of freedom for vibration. The vibrational degree of freedom doesn't contribute, so the average energy per molecule is 5/2 k T.
