A block of mass 1 kg attached to a spring is made to oscillate with an initial amplitude of 12 cm. After 2 minutes the amplitude decreases to 6 cm. Determine the value of the damping constant for this motion . (take ln 2 = 0.693)
- A0.69 $$\times$$ 102 kg s$$-$$1
- B3.3 $$\times$$ 102 kg s$$-$$1
- C1.16 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$2 kg s$$-$$1
- D5.7 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3 kg s$$-$$1
