hey,
could you help me with a few examples of Underdamped and Over damped systems?

An underdamped system is a type of system in which the damping force is not strong enough to bring the system to equilibrium quickly. This results in the system oscillating around its equilibrium position before eventually settling down.
An overdamped system is a type of system in which the damping force is too strong, causing the system to take a longer time to reach equilibrium. Unlike an underdamped system, an overdamped system does not oscillate and instead approaches its equilibrium position in a smooth manner.
Some common examples of underdamped systems include a swinging pendulum, a bouncing basketball, and a weight attached to a spring.
Overdamped systems can be observed in situations such as a door closer, shock absorbers in a car, and a parachute opening.
Underdamped systems show a more sensitive response to external disturbances, resulting in oscillations. On the other hand, overdamped systems have a slower response to disturbances and do not oscillate.
