A dash-pot is a type of mechanical device used to dampen or absorb shocks and vibrations in machinery.
The dash-pot operates by controlling the flow of fluid through a restricted passage, generating resistance to movement.
In automotive engineering, dash-pots are commonly employed in shock absorbers to provide smooth and controlled damping of vehicle suspension systems.
The effectiveness of a dash-pot depends on factors such as the viscosity of the fluid and the design of the damping mechanism.
