a. A 0.5 kg mass attached to a linear spring, with spring constant 5 N/m and damping constant 0.2 kg/s, is initially displaced 10 cm from equilibrium. (a) What is the natural frequency of oscillation? What is its period of oscillation? How long does it take for the amplitude to decrease to 10% of its starting value? How many oscillations have occurred in this time? What fraction of the initial energy remains after this time?
b. Two traveling waves with the same amplitude A, frequency f, and wavelength λ, but out of phase with each other by one quarter of a wavelength, are both traveling to the right and superpose in space. Find the amplitude, wavelength, and frequency of the resulting wave in terms of the given symbols. Write the equation of the resulting traveling wave y ( x , t ).
This is the Question of damping wave oscillation which can be solved using damping wave equation.
