How to Evaluate Critical Damping Coefficient?

Critical Damping Coefficient evaluator uses Critical Damping Coefficient = 2*Mass Suspended from Spring*Natural Circular Frequency to evaluate the Critical Damping Coefficient, Critical Damping Coefficient formula is defined as the minimum amount of damping required to prevent oscillations in a system, allowing it to return to its equilibrium position as quickly as possible, and is a critical parameter in the study of free damped vibrations. Critical Damping Coefficient is denoted by cc symbol.
