Calculate damping ratio and related parameters for oscillating systems
📊 Damping Ratio Formula
ζ = c/(2√(mk)) = c/(2mωₙ)
Where ζ is damping ratio, c is damping coefficient, m is mass, k is spring constant, ωₙ is natural frequency

💡 Tips & Information
- ζ < 1: Underdamped (oscillatory)
- ζ = 1: Critically damped (fastest return to equilibrium)
- ζ > 1: Overdamped (no oscillation)
- Logarithmic decrement: δ = ln(A₁/A₂)
- Quality factor: Q = 1/(2ζ)
