    Those are the equations assuming no damping. Maybe they aren't relative...

    Finding damping constant when amplitude drops to 80% after 10 oscillations

    I'm not sure, the answer in the back of the book is 0.71 kg/s. I think that I might need to use a different formula, but I'm not sure.

    Finding damping constant when amplitude drops to 80% after 10 oscillations

    Homework Statement I am solving for the damping constant (b). The amplitude has decreased to 80% of its original height (0.1m) after 10 oscillations. The mass is 2 kg, k is 5000 N/m, w is 50 rads/s, T = pi/25 s. Homework Equations x = 0.1cos(50t) v = -5sin(50t) a = -250cos(50t) The Attempt at...
