What happens to the frequency of a swing as its oscillations die down from large amplitude to small ?

Question

Jitender Pal · Answer

The frequency of the damped oscillator is,
wʹ = √k/m – (b/2m)²
The greater is the damping constant b, the more quickly the amplitude of the oscillation dies out. When damping is present, the oscillation frequency is smaller (the period is larger). That is, damping slows down the motion, as we might expect. If the damping constant b = 0 (no damping), then wʹ = √k/m, which is simply the angular frequency w of the undamped motion.
