A damped oscillator consists of a mass (m) attached to a spring (k), with frictional damping forces.

Question:

A damped oscillator consists of a mass \(m\) attached to a spring \(k\), with frictional damping forces. If the mass is released from rest with amplitude \(A\), and after 100 oscillations the amplitude is \(A / 2\), what is the total work done by friction during the 100 oscillations?
