The displacement of a damped oscillator is $x(t) = \exp(-0.2 t) \cos(3.2 t + \Phi)$,where $t$ is time in seconds. The time required for the amplitude of the oscillator to become $\frac{1}{e^{1.2}}$ times its initial amplitude is (in $s$)

What are damped oscillations?

If the amplitudes of a damped harmonic oscillator at times $t=0, t_1$ and $t_2$ are $A_0, A_1$ and $A_2$ respectively, then the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of $(t_1+t_2)$ is

$A$ block of mass $200 \, g$ is executing $SHM$ under the influence of a spring with spring constant $K = 90 \, N \, m^{-1}$ and a damping constant $b = 40 \, g \, s^{-1}$. The time elapsed for its amplitude to drop to half of its initial value is ...... $s$ (Given $\ln \frac{1}{2} = -0.693$).

The amplitude of a damped harmonic oscillator becomes $50 \%$ of its initial value in a time of $12 \ s$. If the amplitude of the oscillator at a time of $36 \ s$ is $x \%$ of its initial amplitude,then the value of $x$ is
