Question
**Physics Problem: Spring and Oscillations**

A spring with a spring constant of \(18.0 \, \text{N/m}\) hangs from the ceiling. A \(510 \, \text{g}\) ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is then pulled down \(7.80 \, \text{cm}\) and released.

**Question - Part A**

What is the time constant if the ball's amplitude has decreased to \(2.60 \, \text{cm}\) after \(53.0\) oscillations?

_Express your answer with the appropriate units._

---

To solve questions like these, consider using the formulas for damped harmonic motion, specifically focusing on how amplitude changes over time and the calculation for the time constant in the context of oscillations.
