Simple Harmonic Oscillations
 

Simple Harmonic Oscillations problem 28


A spring pendulum oscillates at a frequency of 2 Hz. The oscillation is damped. The initial oscillation amplitude is 6 cm, but after four oscillations it drops to 4 cm. What is the damping factor? By what percent does the energy of the pendulum decrease after four oscillations, and what is it converted into?
