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?
Problem 3 A damped harmonic oscillator is described by the displacement as a function of time, An observer finds that every time the mass reaches its maximum (positive) displacement, that displacement is 10.0% smaller than the previous maximum positive displacement. Calculate the ratio of the period T of the oscillator with damping, to the period To of the same oscillator without damping.

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?

1. An ideal (frictionless) simple harmonic oscillator is set into motion by releasing it from rest at X +0.750 m. The oscillator is set into motion once again from x=+0.750 m, except the oscillator now experiences a retarding force that is linear with respect to velocity. As a result, the oscillator does not return to its original starting position, but instead reaches = +0.700 m after one period. a. During the first full oscillation of motion, determine the fraction of...
