Engineers can determine properties of a structure that is modeled as a damped spring oscillator...?

Part A: Engineers can determine properties of a structure that is modeled as a damped spring oscillator, such as a bridge, by applying a driving force to it. A weakly damped spring oscillator of mass 0.230 kg is driven by a sinusoidal force at the oscillator's resonance frequency of 33.4 Hz. Find the value of the spring constant.

Spring constant ----> ???? N/m (I got 10129N/m)

Part B: The amplitude of the driving force is 0.444 N and the amplitude of the oscillator's steady‑state motion in response to this driving force is 0.939 m. What is the oscillator's damping constant?

Damping constant ----> ???? Kg/s

Thank you.
