As we learnt in  

Resultant amplitude in damped oscillation -

A=A_{0}.e^{-\frac{bt}{2m}}

E=E_{0}.e^{-\frac{bt}{2m}}

- wherein

A= Amplitude

E= Energy

 

 As we know that E=E_{0}e^{-bt/m}

    15=45e^{-156/m}\ \; \Rightarrow\ \; \frac{1}{3}=e^{-156/3}

Taking log both side

    \frac{b}{m}=\frac{1}{15}ln3

Correct option is 2.

 

 


Option 1)

\frac{1}{30}ln 3

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

\frac{1}{15}ln 3

This is the corrct option.

Option 3)

2

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)

\frac{1}{2}

This is an incorrect option.
