- I am confused by this question and was hoping someone could clear this up for me, I know this is simple.
A mass-spring system vibrates at 10 Hz. Ideally, i.e., without friction, it would continue forever at the same amplitude. In practice, its amplitude is found to decay such that it decreases by 1/e every 10 minutes. Estimate the width of its frequency spectrum.
So I know the frequency is 10Hz and how much the amplitude is decreasing. How am I supposed to determine the width of the frequency spectrum from this? Isn't there not a relationship between amplitude and frequency?
