Which outcome occurs when a viscous damper encounters stiction?

A)Sudden, jerky stick-slip type motion
B)Consistent, smooth, damped oscillations
C)Critically damped and steady response
D)Progressive, gradual exponential decay

💡 Explanation

Jerky motion occurs from surpassing static friction, because the increased viscous stress causes the damper to suddenly release potential energy via static friction, therefore stick-slip, rather than continuous resistance from viscous effects alone.
