39. An 10.6-kg object oscillates at the end of a vertical spring which has a spring constant of<br />

2.05 10 4 N/m. The effect of air resistance is represented by the damping coefficient b = 3.00<br />

N·s/m. (a) Calculate the frequency of the damped oscillation. (b) By what percentage does the<br />

amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycle? (c) Find the time interval that elapses<br />

while the energy of the system drops to 5.00% of its initial value.
