The amplitude of a mass-spring system, which is executing simple harmonic motion decreases with time. If mass =500g=500g=500g, Decay constant =20gs−1=20g{s}^{-1}=20gs−1 then how much time is required for the amplitude of the system to drop to half of its initial value? (ln2=0.693)(\mathrm{ln}2=0.693)(ln2=0.693)
