Consider a monkey with a mass of 80 kg, suspended by a dynamic rope, which has some elasticity. We can model this system as a mass on a spring undergoing damped harmonic oscillations. The rope has an effective spring constant of 600 N/m. Damping in this case comes from friction and other dissipative forces internal to the rope. - If you want this system to be critically damped, what would the damping constant need to be? The monkey could be set into oscillations by a gust of wind. If the damping constant is 420 kg/s, how much time would it take the amplitude of oscillations to reduced by a factor of 57||
