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 $\left( {\pi /12} \right)s$ . The damping constant $‘b’$ has the value. ..... $kg/s$

    Two springs with negligible masses and force constant of $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to the block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially the block is at rest, at the equilibrium position in which both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0,$ a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.
