A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 3 kg and a spring with spring constant k = 7 N/m. Initially, the system oscillates with an amplitude of 23 cm. Because of the damping, the amplitude loses 60% of its initial value by the end of four oscillations. What is the value of the damping constant, b? b = What percentage of initial energy has been lost during these four oscillations? %
