The amplitude of a damped harmonic oscillator becomes $50 \%$ of its initial value in a time of $12 \ s$. If the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of $36 \ s$ is $x \%$ of its initial amplitude,then the value of $x$ is

Which of the diagrams shown in the figure represents the variation of the total mechanical energy of a pendulum oscillating in water as a function of time?

You are riding in an automobile of mass $3000\; kg$. Assuming that you are examining the oscillation characteristics of its suspension system. The suspension sags $15\; cm$ when the entire automobile is placed on it. Also,the amplitude of oscillation decreases by $50 \%$ during one complete oscillation. Estimate the values of
$(a)$ the spring constant $k$ and
$(b)$ the damping constant $b$ for the spring and shock absorber system of one wheel,assuming that each wheel supports $750 \;kg$.

The amplitude of a damped oscillator is known to decrease to $0.9$ times its original amplitude in $5 \,s$. Approximately, by how many times its original amplitude will it decrease after another $20 \,s$?

In forced oscillations,a particle oscillates simple harmonically with a frequency equal to

$A$ simple pendulum is set into vibrations. The bob of the pendulum comes to rest after some time due to
