$${\lambda }^2+\sqrt{7}\lambda +4=0$$$$\lambda =\frac{-\sqrt{7}\pm 3i}{2}$$$$x=e^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}(c_{1}cos\frac{3}{2}t+c_{2}sin\frac{3}{2}t)$$$$=e^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}(\frac{c_1}{\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}}cos\frac{3}{2}t+\frac{c_2}{\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}}sin\frac{3}{2}t)$$$$let\frac{c_1}{\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}}=sin\theta$$$$\theta ={sin}^{-1}\frac{c_1}{\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}}$$$$\Rightarrow x=e^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}\left[sin(\frac{3}{2}t+\theta )\right]$$$$\frac{dx}{dt}=-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}{e}^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}\frac{3}{2}\left[cos(\frac{3}{2}t+\theta )\right]$$$$\frac{d^{2}x}{{dt}^2}=-\frac{7}{4}{e}^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}\sqrt{c_1^2+c_2^2}\frac{9}{4}\left[sin(\frac{3}{2}t+\theta )\right]$$$$=-\frac{63}{16}x$$$$F=-\frac{63m}{16}x$$$$\to oscillatorymotion$$$$periodT=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }=\frac{2\pi }{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi$$$$butwhent\to \mathrm{\infty },e^{-\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t}\to 0$$$$sotheamplitudewoulddecreasegradually$$
