The amplitude of a wave is represented by $A = \frac{c}{a + b - c}$. Resonance will occur when:

  • A
    $b = -c/2$
  • B
    $b = 0$ and $a = c$
  • C
    $b = -a/2$
  • D
    None of these

In damped oscillations,the damping force is directly proportional to the speed of the oscillator. If the amplitude becomes half of its initial value $A_0$ in $1 \, s$,then after $2 \, s$,the amplitude will be:

For the damped oscillator shown in the figure,the mass $m$ of the block is $200 \; g$,$k = 90 \; N m^{-1}$,and the damping constant $b$ is $40 \; g s^{-1}$. Calculate:
