Question:

In a mechanical translational system, mass corresponds to which electrical element in force-voltage analogy?

Show Hint

Force-voltage analogy: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} M &\leftrightarrow L, B &\leftrightarrow R, \frac{1}{K} &\leftrightarrow C. \end{aligned} } \]

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Recall the force-voltage analogy. In the force-voltage (impedance) analogy, \[ \begin{aligned} \text{Force} &\leftrightarrow \text{Voltage}, \text{Velocity} &\leftrightarrow \text{Current}. \end{aligned} \]

Step 2:
Identify the equivalent electrical element. The mass \(M\) stores kinetic energy, just as an inductor stores magnetic energy. Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{Mass} \leftrightarrow \text{Inductance}.} \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
