Question:

A mass-spring-damper system is tested to determine the value of \(c\). Assume \(k=10 \mathrm{lb} /\) in and \(m=2\) slug.

(a) If the vibrational amplitude is observed to decrease to \(33 \%\) of its initial value after 2 consecutive cycles, what is the value of \(c\) ?

(b) If \(k\), rather than having the exact value given above, has a range of possible values of 8 to \(12 \mathrm{lb} /\) in with equal likelihood, then what is the range of possible values of \(c\) ?
