For a constant force, since this is a well-behaved--
-
the friction between here is well-known and well-behaved,
-
it's going to just slide with a uniform velocity
-
the inner cylinder over the outer cylinder.
-
Does that make sense?
-
So, this dashpot is an idealized physical model for
-
how a viscous liquid behaves.
-
I apply a force and it continuously deforms.
-
Now, it's better as a thought experiment than a real experiment
-
because you can imagine making things
-
that behave like real springs.
-
Real dashpots would be hard to make. Why?
