Q. A damped mass-spring system oscillates at 280 Hz. The time constant of the system is 2.0 s. At t = 0, the amplitude of oscillation is 8.4 cm and the energy of the oscillating system is then 84 J.
(a) What is the amplitude of oscillation at t = 2.0 s?
What is the amplitude at t = 4.0 s?
(b) How much energy is dissipated in first 2 s interval?
How much energy is dissipated in second 2 s interval?
