When a car hits a certain bump on the road, a shock absorber on the car is compressed a distance of 6 in., then

released. The shock absorber vibrates in damped harmonic motion with a frequency of 2 cycles per second. The damping constant for this particular shock absorber is 2.8.
How long does it take for the amplitude of the vibration to decrease to 0.5 in.?
