TUTORIAL 1 + TUTORIAL 2 PROBLEMS

1. The corresponding equation for a mechanical system, driven by constant force F, consisting of
a mass 𝑚, spring with spring constant 𝑘 and dashpot with drag coefficient γ in terms of only
displacement 𝑥 is given by

𝑑2𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑚 2 +γ + 𝑘𝑥 = F
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡

2. m/ γ = 2.8 ps, Hence average distance travelled before its speed is randomized =
24 pm or 0.24 Angstrom

3.
Series combination 𝜸𝒆𝒇𝒇 = 𝜸/𝑵
Parallel Combination 𝜸𝒆𝒇𝒇 = 𝑵𝜸
