a mechanical oscilator has initial energy Enot= 50j having a damping coefficient b=1s. Calculate the time required to decrease to E= Enot/e
Answer
Energy is given
E=E0e−bt/mE=E_0e^{-bt/m}E=E0e−bt/m
Energy is given at time t is E=E0eE=\frac{E_0}{e}E=eE0
E0/e=E0/et/m1e=1e(t/1)E_0/e=E_0/e^{t/m} \\ \frac{1}{e}=\frac{1}{e^(t/1)}E0/e=E0/et/me1=e(t/1)1
Now calculate
e=et/1e=e^{t/1}e=et/1
So t=1sec.
