Lab #11: Simple Harmonic Motion of a Linear Oscillator

In the position equation, x(t), for a damped simple harmonic oscillator, xmax , is a decreasing function, not a constant. The angular frequency, (( of the damped system is less than the natural angular frequency, , that the system would have if it was not damped. (Read Section 16-8 for a specific example of a damping force.) ................
