A physical pendulum consists of an 85-cm-long, 240-g-mass, uniform wooden rod hung from a nail near one end. The motion is damped because of friction in the pivot; the damping force is approximately proportional to de/dt. The rod is set in oscillation by displacing it 15. from its equilibrium position and releasing it. After 8.1 s, the amplitude of the oscillation has been reduced to 5.5 ° Part A If the angular displacement can be written as 0-Ae-ytcosw't, find y. Express your answer using two significant figures.
