A 2.0 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring of force constant 8.0 N/m. The object is started oscillating by pulling it 6.0 cm from its equilibrium position and releasing it so that it is free to oscillate on a frictionless horizontal air track. (The spring can apply both a compressing and stretching force.) You observe that after one complete cycle, its maximum displacement is now 5.8 cm. Assume that the object is subject to a damping force that is proportional to the velocity. What is the approximate damping constant? (Give your answer in Ns/m.)

A block of mass (3 kg) lays on a frictionless plane and is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant (8 N/m). The spring is attached to a nearby vertical wall.

A spring hangs vertically from a ceiling. The spring constant of the spring is k=15 N/m. A 2kg object has been attached to the spring and the spring has already come to its new equilibrium. Someone pulls the object down by 5cm and releases it at time t = 0s. The spring and object begin to oscillate under simple harmonic motion. Find the total energy of the system, the maximum kinetic energy, the maximum potential energy, and the positions where the maximum energies occur. Answers: 0.01875 J, 0.01875 J
An object weighing 4 kg, one end of which is connected to the other end of a spring connected to the ceiling, makes an oscillating movement in a frictional environment. It is known that the friction force is proportional to the speed of the object and its proportionality coefficient is 5 Ns/m and the spring constant is 0.2 N/m. At t = 0, the object starts to move after being raised 2 m upwards from the equilibrium position, and it is known that it passes 5 m below the equilibrium position at t = 10 s. Write the differential equation that describes the motion of the object and then find the equation that relates the position of the object to time.
