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

A

`kg ms^(-1)`

B

`kgms^(-2)`

C

`kgs^(-1)`

D

`kg s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Damping force `prop` Velocity
`Fpropv,F=kv`
`k=(f)/(v)` k is constant of proportionality
`=(kgms^(-2))/(ms^(-1))`
`k=kgs^(-1)`
