Determine viscous damping coefficient c

A Mass-Spring-Damper is tested to determine the value of the viscous damping coefficient c.  Assume k = 10 lb/ft and m = 2 slug.  The vibrational amplitude is observed to decrease by 33% of its initial value after two consecutive cycles. What is the value of the viscous damping coefficient c?

Mutiple choice answers.
