    The amplitude of a damped oscillator decreases to 0.9 times its original magnitude in 5s. In another 10s it will decrease to \[\alpha \] times its original magnitude, where α equals:     AIEEE Solevd Paper-2013

    A) 0.7                                         

    B) 0.81       

    C)        0.729    

    D)        0.6

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[A={{A}_{o}}{{e}^{-kt}}\] \[0.9{{A}_{o}}={{A}_{o}}{{e}^{-kt}}\] \[-kt=\ell n(0.9)\] \[-5\text{ }k=\ell n(0.9)\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[-15\text{ }k=3\ell n(0.9)\] \[A={{A}_{o}}{{e}^{-15k}}={{A}_{o}}{{e}^{-\ell n{{(0.9)}^{3}}}}\] \[={{(0.9)}^{3}}{{A}_{o}}=0.729\text{ }{{A}_{o}}\]
