    Answer:

    The correct answer will be “0.022 kg/s“.

    Explanation:

    The given values are:

    Initial amplitude,

    A₁ = 0.3 m

    Final amplitude,

    A₂ = 0.1 m

    Mass of a egg,

    m = 50.0 g i.e., 0.050 kg

    Time,

    t = 5 sec

    As we know,

    ⇒  A_{2}=A_{1}e^{(-\frac{b}{2m})t}

    So that, the damping constant will be:

    ⇒  b=\frac{2m}{t} log \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}

    On putting the estimated values, we get

    ⇒  b=\frac{2\times 0.050}{5}log \frac{0.3}{0.1}

    ⇒     =\frac{0.1}{5} log \frac{0.3}{0.1}

    ⇒     =0.02 \ log 3

    ⇒     =0.0219 \ kg/sec \ or \ 0.022 \ kg/s
