A system being allowed to oscillate can be a benefit. But, keeping the oscillations minimized or controlled may be preferred. Think of a few everyday examples where the use of damped harmonic motion is desired and list those applications here:.

Two large, flat, horizontally oriented plates are parallel to each other, a distance d apart. half way betwween the two plates the electric field has magnitude e. if the separation of the plates is reduced to d/2 what is the magnitude of the electric field half way between the plates?
