Here is my problem:
A hard-boiled egg of mass 45.0 g moves on the end of a spring with force constant k = 24.7 N/m. Its initial displacement is 0.290 m. A damping force F = - bv acts on the egg, and the amplitude of the motion decreases to 0.120 m in a time of 5.10 s.
I need to find the magnitude of the dampening constant b.
I am completely clueless on how to approach this question.
edit: corrected some stuff.
