A pendulum with the time period of 1 s is losing energy due to damping. At a certain time, its energy is 45 J. If after completing 15 oscillations its energy has become 15 J, then its damping constant (in s-1) will be

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Energy of a damping oscillator isE=E0e-2γtat timetwhereγ=damping constant

E' =Eoe-2γt

15=45e-2γ15

γ=130ln⁡(3)
