A vertical spring-mass system undergoes damped oscillations due to air resistance. The spring constant is 2.15 ✕ 104 N/mand the mass at the end of the spring is 10.7 kg.
(a) If the damping coefficient is b = 4.50 N · s/m, what is the frequency of the oscillator?Hz
(b) Determine the fractional decrease in the amplitude of the oscillation after 7 cycles.
