A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 5kg and a spring with spring constant k = 10 N/m. Initially, the system oscillates with an amplitude of 63 cm. Because of the damping, the amplitude decreases by 56% of its initial value at the end of four oscillations. What is the value of the damping constant, b? What percentage of initial energy has been lost during these four oscillations?
A damped oscillator loses 2.0% of its energy during each cycle. (a) How many cycles elapse before half of its original energy is dissipated?

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block (m = 3.00 kg), a spring (k = 11.1 N/m), and a damping force (F = -bv). Initially, it oscillates with an amplitude of 28.7 cm; because of the damping, the amplitude falls to 0.760 of the initial value at the completion of 6 oscillations. (a) What is the value of b? (Hint: Assume that b2 << km.) (b) How much energy has been lost during these 6 oscillations?
