A load whose torque varies in direct proportion to speed arises from

  • A.the resistance of air to a fan impeller at increasing speed
  • B.the winding of strip at constant tension in a coiler
  • C.viscous friction
  • D.the lifting of a fixed weight by a hoist drum

Answer: C

Correct answer: viscous friction

Viscous friction produces a resisting torque proportional to the velocity, which is the defining property of a damper. Stirring a liquid, an eddy current brake and the damping term in any mechanical model all behave this way. Windage is a square-law effect, the hoist is constant-torque, and the coiler is constant-power - each of the four classes appearing separately in this topic.
