Consider the following statements about dampers.

1. Damping force rises with piston velocity.

2. Rebound damping is usually stronger than bump damping.

3. A gas charge is fitted mainly to support the vehicle weight.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct, but the nitrogen charge exists to prevent cavitation rather than to carry load. A monotube does contribute a small force from its rod area, which is why the third statement is tempting rather than absurd. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
