A block of mass 0.1 kg is connected to an elastic spring of spring constant 640 Nm−1 and oscillates in a damping medium of damping constant 10−2 kg s−1 . The system dissipates its energy gradually. The time taken for its mechanical energy of vibration to drop to half of its initial value, is closest to :
