Homework Statement
Concerning damped harmonic motion (mass on a spring using cardboard discs as dampers); for the equation (below) of the graph describing the effect of different sized dampers on the time taken for amplitude of oscillations to halve, what do b (y-intercept) and n (gradient) represent? (A=area of damper; T=time taken for amplitude to halve)
