Text solutionVerified

Amplitude of damped oscillator is given by

A = A_{0} e^{- \frac{b t}{2 m}}

After

5 s, 0.9 A_{0} = A_{0} e^{- \frac{b ( 5 )}{2 m}}

\Rightarrow 0.9 = e^{- \frac{b ( 5 )}{2 m}}

After,

10 s, A = A_{0} e^{- b \frac{( 15 )}{2 m}}

\Rightarrow A = A_{0} (e^{- \frac{5 b}{2 m})^{3}}

A = 0.729 A_{0}

Hence,

α = 0.729
