A spring is attached to the ceiling and pulled 5 cm down

A spring is attached to the ceiling and pulled 5 cm down from equilibrium and released. After 3 seconds the amplitude has decreased to 4 cm. The spring oscillates 10 times each second. Assume that the amplitude is decreasing exponentially. Find an equation for the distance, D the end of the spring is below equilibrium in terms of seconds, t.
