Concerning damped harmonic motion (eg. 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 would b (y-intercept) and n (gradient) represent? (A=area of damper; T=time taken for amplitude to halve)
[tex]T=b.A^n[/tex]
[tex]ln(T)=n.ln(A) + ln(b)[/tex]
Thanks
