$A$ spring-mass system executes damped harmonic oscillations given by the equation $y = A e^{-\frac{bt}{2m}} \sin(\omega' t + \phi)$,where the symbols have their usual meanings. If a $2 \ kg$ mass $(m)$ is attached to a spring of force constant $(K) = 1250 \ N/m$,the period of the oscillation is $(\pi / 12) \ s$. The damping constant $b$ has the value ..... $kg/s$.

In damped oscillation,the graph between velocity $(V)$ and position $(x)$ will be:
