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

A

`kg ms^(-1)`

B

`kg ms^(-2)`

C

`kg s^(-1)`

D

`kgs`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Damping force, `F prop v` or `F= kv`
where k is the constant of proportionality
`:. K= (F)/(v)= -(N)/(ms^(-1))= (kg ms^(-2))/(ms^(-1))= kgs^(-1)`
