A mass of 5.05 kg is attached to a vertical spring with force constant 2.71 x 104 N/m. The mass is lifed then released, allowing it to oscillate. Air resistance on the oscillating mass is represented by a damping coefficient of 2.4 N s/m. a. Determine the frequency of the damped oscillation. f = 11.658 HZ b. Determine the percentage decrease in the amplitude of the damped oscillation per cycle. Hint 1: For damped oscillations, amplitude varies as a function of time A(t) = Age (b/2m)t, where Ao is the initial amplitude. Hint 2: percent decrease = (original value - new value)/(original value) A mass of 5.05 kg is attached to a vertical spring with force constant 2.71 x 104 N/m.
