An investigtion is carried out of the damping of planar oscillations of a rigid body in which there is a toroidal cavity filled with a liquid of arbitrary viscosity. The diameter of the torus is assumed to be significantly larger than the diameter of the tube from which it is formed. On the assumption that the moment of inertia of the liquid is much smaller than that of the rigid body, an analytical expression is derived for the amplitude of the oscillations of the rigid body, and the optimal damping parameters are determined. For the case of a liquid with high viscosity the solution is compared with the well-known asymptotic solution, describing the oscillations of a rigid body with a cavity of arbitrary shape filled with a viscous liquid at small Reynolds numbers.
