The angular frequency of the damped oscillator is given by, $\omega  = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{k}{m} - \frac{{{r^2}}}{{4{m^2}}}} \right)} $ where $k$ is the spring constant, $m$ is the mass of the oscillator and $r$ is the damping constant. If the ratio $\frac{{{r^2}}}{{mk}}$ is $8\%$, the change in time period compared to the undamped oscillator is approximately as follows

    A particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$, it collies elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision :

    $(A)$ the speed of the particle when it returns to its equilibrium position is $u_0$.

    $(B)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the first time is $t=\pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

    $(C)$ the time at which the maximum compression of the spring occurs is $t =\frac{4 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

    $(D)$ the time at which the particle passes througout the equilibrium position for the second time is $t=\frac{5 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.
