An object of mass 0.2 kg is hung from a spring whose spring constant is 80 N/m. The object is subject to a resistive force given by -bx, where x is its velocity in meters per second.
(a) Set up differential equation of motion for free oscillations of the system.
(b) If the damped frequency is √3/2 of the undamped frequency, what is the value of the constant b?
(c)What is the Q of the system?
(d) After 2 seconds, what does the average energy decay to? (in terms of the initial average energy).
