A 7.2-kg mass oscillates on a horizontal spring.The position of the object is given by the relation (all units in MKS) .The system is then submerged into a vat of oil with a damping constant of 1.42 kg/s.How long will it take before the amplitude of oscillations becomes 0.314 m?

A) 1.01 s
B) 10.1 s
C) 11.7 s
D) 23.4 s
