The differential equation of a certain system is 20⁢y′⁢′+c⁢y′+80⁢y=0
, where c is called damping constant for what value of c critical damping hapens

Options:

110

64

50

60

Sagot :

Answer:

c=80

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on my reading the critical damping occurs when the discriminant of the quadratic characteristic equation is 0.

So let's see that characteristic equation:

20⁢r^2+c⁢r+80⁢=0

The discriminant can be found by calculating b^2-4aC of ar^2+br+C=0.

a=20

b=c

C=80

c^2-4(20)(80)

We want this to be 0.

c^2-4(20)(80)=0

Simplify:

c^2-6400=0

Add 6400 on both sides:

c^2=6400

Take square root of both sides:

c=80 or c=-80

Based on further reading damping equations in form

a⁢y′⁢′+b⁢y′+C⁢y=0

should have positive coefficients with b also having the possibility of being zero.
