Question:

The force \((F)\)-velocity \((\dot{x})\) relationship of a nonlinear damper is given by

\[F=a \dot{x}+b \dot{x}^{2}\]

where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. Find the equivalent linear damping constant when the relative velocity is \(5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) with \(a=5 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s} / \mathrm{m}\) and \(b=0.2 \mathrm{~N}-\mathrm{s}^{2} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\).
