$A$ block of mass $100 \,g$ is connected to an elastic spring of spring constant $450 \,N m^{-1}$ and oscillates vertically. The block-spring system is in a viscous surrounding medium with a damping constant $b = 69.3 \,g \,s^{-1}$. Calculate the time in which the amplitude of oscillations drops to half of its initial value. (Take $\ln 2 = 0.693$) (in $\,s$)

  • A
    $6.93$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
