5. A mechanical oscillator with a quality factor of 2 comprises a mass of 50 g attached to a spring of stiffness 3250 N/m. When the mass is subject to an oscillating driving force of magnitude 20 N, the resultant frequency of oscillation of the system is 50 Hz. a). Calculate the value of the mechanical resistance, Rm, for the system. b). What percentage of the maximum power is dissipated in the system when is it driven to oscillate at 50 Hz? c). State whether the system is underdamped, critically damped or overdamped when the driving force is turned off and justify your answer.
