Answer

$9.20s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required time as follows: $A=0.900A_{\circ}=A_{\circ}e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ $\implies 0.900=e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ We take the log on both sides to obtain: $t=\frac{-2m}{b}(ln 0.900)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=-\frac{2(0.00144Kg)}{3.30\times 10^{-5}Kg/s}(\ln 0.900)$ $t=9.20s$
