Calculating a Damping Constant
I am given the following information:
A 2.20 kg mass oscillates on a
spring
of force constant 250.0 N/m with a period of 0.615 s,
and I am asked to find the damping constant. Can someone tell me what equation to use?

Re: Calculating a Damping Constant
i think its this equation
ω^2 = k/m - b^2 / 4m^2
where b is the damping coefficient
