$A$ block of mass $0.1\, kg$ is connected to an elastic spring of spring constant $640\, Nm^{-1}$ and oscillates in a damping medium of damping constant $10^{-2}\, kg\,s^{-1}$. The system dissipates its energy gradually. The time taken for its mechanical energy of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is closest to ..... $s$.

If the amplitudes of a damped harmonic oscillator at times $t=0, t_1$ and $t_2$ are $A_0, A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively, then the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of $(t_1+t_2)$ is

The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by $x(t) = e^{-0.1 t} \cos(10 \pi t + \varphi)$. Here $t$ is in seconds. The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to: (in $s$)
