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

    A) \[\text{kg}\,\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}}\]  

    B)        \[\text{kg}\,\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{\text{-2}}}\]  

    C)        \[\text{kg}\,{{\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}}\]    

    D)        \[\text{kg}\,\text{s}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, Damping force \[\propto \] velocity \[F\propto v\] \[F=kv\] \[k=\frac{F}{v}\]               Unit of \[\text{k}\,\text{=}\frac{\text{unit}\,\text{of}\,\text{F}}{\text{unit}\,\text{of}\,\text{v}}\] \[\,\text{=}\frac{kg-m{{s}^{-2}}}{m{{s}^{-1}}}=kg{{s}^{-1}}\]
