Consider a wood log floating on the surface of the water. When it is pushed downward and allowed to bob up and down, it oscillates about its mean position. Over time, the dissipative force reduces the amplitude of oscillation, and it can be described by the equation of damped harmonic motion. On solving, if the imaginary part is non-zero, the general solution for the differential equation relative to the position and the angular frequency within the time-dependent exponential decay envelope is obtained. Depending on the angular frequency, the system exhibits different types of damping conditions. When the damping force is low, the angular frequency resembles the natural frequency. Therefore, in underdamped conditions, the system oscillates with decaying amplitude after making some possible cycles. In critical damping conditions, the damping and restoring forces are equal, and the angular frequency becomes zero, making the system oscillations fade out exponentially. On the other hand, in overdamped conditions, the damping force is relatively large, which makes the system slowly reach equilibrium.
