A 5.0-kg block is attached to an ideal massless spring whose spring constant is 125 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.00 m to a position at x = +0.687 m and is released from rest.
 
  The block then executes lightly damped oscillation along the x-axis, and the damping force is proportional to the velocity. When the block first returns to x = 0.00 m, its x component of velocity is -2.0 m/s and its x component of acceleration is +5.6 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block upon release at x = +0.687 m. (b) Find the damping constant b.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
