Calculate the damping constant and the amplitude of the


A vibrating mass of 300 kg mounted on a massless support by a spring of stiffness 40,000 N/m and a damper of unknown damping coefficient is observed to vibrate with a 10-mm amplitude while the support vibration has a maximum amplitude of only 2.5 mm (at resonance).

Calculate the damping constant and the amplitude of the force on the base.
