Discuss the below problem:
Q: A 2-kg block is supported by a spring of constant k = 128 N/m and a dashpot with a coefficient of viscous damping c = 0.6 N · s/m. The block is in equilibrium when it is struck from below by a hammer which imparts to the block an upward velocity of 0.4 m/s. Determine
(a) The logarithmic decrement,
(b) The maximum upward displacement of the block from equilibrium after two cycles.
