A single-degree-of-freedom system is characterised by

  • A.strength, ductility and toughness
  • B.mass, stiffness and damping
  • C.length, breadth and height
  • D.magnitude, distance and duration

Answer: B

Correct answer: mass, stiffness and damping

These three properties determine everything about how the system responds: mass and stiffness fix the natural period through \( T = 2\pi\sqrt{m/k} \), and damping fixes how quickly free vibration decays and how large the resonant response becomes. Strength and ductility govern what happens once the response is known, but they do not enter the dynamics of a linear system.
