Oscillatory Motion and Energy Calculations

The document presents a problem involving a 1 gm particle experiencing elastic and frictional forces, determining that the resulting motion is oscillatory with a period of 1.89 seconds. It also includes a calculation for the average energy stored in a 10 gm mass attached to a spring vibrating with a 2 cm amplitude at a frequency of 10 Hz, while noting a quality factor of 100 to find the energy dissipated per second. The calculations involve parameters such as displacement, damping, and resonance frequency.

dynes/cms-1. If it is displaced through 2 cm and then left. Find whether the resulting
motion is oscillatory or not. If it is oscillatory then, find its period.
