The damping force on an oscillator is directly proportional to the velocity . The units of the constant of proportionality are

A

`kg m s^(-1)`

B

`kg m s^(-2)`

C

`kg s^(-1)`

D

`kg s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`F_(d) prop v`
`F_(d)=-bv`
`F_(d)=kv`
`:.k=(F_(d))/(v)`
Units of `k=(kgms^(-2))/(m//s)`
`kgs^(-1)`
Units of proportionality constnat `=kgs^(-1)`
