Question

A small particle with mass  m is tied to a light rod (assume no mass) with length l.The rod is tied at the other end with a ball and socket joint with no friction. The rod is held in place in a horizontal position with a spring. The spring has a stiffness coefficient of  k. Parallel to the spring is a dashpot. The rod is then pulled down below the equilibrium point, such that the rod creates an angle theta with the equilibrium point. The rod is held in this place before being released. Decide the damping coefficient  c such that the oscillation will be a critically damped oscillation
