Torsional Oscillator
Data Analysis
- Show your plot of angular displacement VS time with the magnetic dampers completely disengaged. Add a fit your data with Equation 4. State your Q value.
- Show your plot of angular displacement VS time with the magnetic dampers just barely engaged. Add a fit your data with Equation 4. State your Q value.
- Plot your Q values as a function of overlap of the dampers. Estimate a trend that would fit the data. At what overlap value would you achieve critical damping?
