Fig. 1: A graph of displacement x in centimetres against time t in seconds, from 0 to 30 seconds, with grid lines every 3 seconds and every 3 centimetres. A blue curve swings up and down, and its swings get smaller. A dashed red curve joins the tops of the swings. Red dots on it mark 12 centimetres at 0 seconds, 6 centimetres at 9 seconds and 3 centimetres at 18 seconds.

← Mercury in a U-tube oscillates with a period T. The mercury is replaced by water, with the same length of liquid column. Mercury is 13.6 times as dense as water. What is the new period?
A 0.43 kg bob moves through a liquid that damps it with b = 0.016 kg/s. How long does its amplitude take to fall to half? →
