An oscillator follows Hooke’s law with a stiffness factor of 4.2 ×× 106 N/m and an effective mass of 43.5 kg. It is set in motion at t = 0. After 2.0 minutes, the amplitude is only 50% of what it was initially. (a) What is the value of b/2m for the motion? (b) By what factor does the frequency, f’, differ from f, the undamped frequency?
