From what I can see it's D, I did this by simply examining the other answers and seeing that they are beneficial, so, from that information, this one must not be.
Answer:
a)
b)
m = 48lb
c)
b = 144.76lb
Explanation:
The general equation of a damping oscillate motion is given by:
(1)
uo: initial position
m: mass of the block
b: damping coefficient
w: angular frequency
α: initial phase
a. With the information given in the statement you replace the values of the parameters in (1). But first, you calculate the constant b by using the information about the viscous resistance force:
Then, you obtain by replacing in (1):
6in = 0.499 ft
b.
mass, m = 48lb
c.
b = 144.76 lb/s
