Question

In a lab, a student measures the unstretched length of a spring as 0.109 m. When a 131.4-g mass is hung from the spring, its length is 0.201 m. The mass-spring system is set into oscillatory motion, and the student observes that the amplitude of the oscillation decreases by about a factor of 2 after five complete cycles. (T=0.608 s)

What would be the difference between the period with no damping and the period with damping?

Answer 1

131.4 g = 0.1314 kg
