Two simple pendulums with the same length L but different masses, m1 and m2=2*m1, are set swinging at the same time with the same initial amplitude. Both pendulums are damped by the same force, Fdamp=-[tex]\gamma[/tex]s(dot). Eventually, the amplitude of the lighter pendulum decreases to half its initial value.

I have found the equation [tex]\frac{A(t)}{Ao}[/tex]=e(-[tex]\gamma[/tex]t/2m), however I am not sure how to apply it correctly.
