The displacement of a damped harmonic oscillator is given by x( t )= e ^ -0.1 t (10 t + ) . Here t is in seconds. The time taken for its amplitude of vibration to drop to half of its initial value is close to:
Options
- A27 ~s
- B4 ~s
- C13 ~s
- D7 ~s
Correct answer
D. 7 ~s
Step-by-step solution
Amplitude A=A₀ e^ -k t From given condition, A₀ 2 =A₀ e^ -0.1 t aligned & 2=0.1 t & t= 2 0.1 = 0.693 0.10 =6.935 7 ~s aligned
