AlephZero Science Advisor Homework Helper Messages 6,999 Reaction score 299 May 22, 2014 #3 Google will find lots of web sites with the derivation. As NascentOxygen said, you write down the differential equation for simple harmonic motion with damping, and solve it. There are no "clever tricks" required.
