4. (10 points) An object with mass m kg is hung on a spring with spring coefficient 2 N/m.
The spring is also attached to a viscous damper with damping coefficient 6 N s/m.
(a) Determine the value of m for which the system is critically damped.

(b) Let m = 5 kg. Compute the quasi frequency of the spring mass system in this case.
