Is my physics correct or torque correct?
I would like to put this into a differential equation. This is what I have.
$$r \times F = I \ddot\theta + \mu \dot\theta + k \theta$$
What I need verified:
$\text{Torque} = I\ddot\theta + \mu ...

Why is the damping force on a spring oscillator linearly dependent on velocity?
If you consider the damping force is friction like in:
then the force should be $$F=\mu N$$ where $\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction. Why then is the damping force assumed to be linearly ...

Two masses attached to a spring
I'm trying to understand the solution of the following problem.
Two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ slide freely in a horizontal frictionless track and are connected by a spring whose force constant is ...

How do I account for the direction of friction acting on a spring?
I would like to set up the equations of motion for a simple spring oscillator.
Let's have a spring lying horizontally; we attach a small mass $m$ to the (massless) spring.
The force of the spring ...

Investigating damped Harmonic Motion in a Spring?
I'm going to conduct an investigation into the dampening of a spring.
Essentially, what specific factors could be investigated? Currently I'm planning to investigate the effect of changing the mass ...
