Answer:
1.241/s
Explanation:
From this question, we have the following information:
Mass of oscillator = 310
The time Period, t = 0.180
Decrease = 20 %
Amplitude of oscillation has the formula
A = Aoe^yt
1-20% = 80%
= 0.80
Y x 0.18 = -ln(0.8)
= 0.18Y = 0.2234
Y = 0.2233/0.18
Y = 1.241/s
The damping constant y is Therefore equal to 1.241s
