HW
The door of a house has a height of 2m, width of 1m, thickness
of 50mm, and mass of 50 kg. the door opens against a torsion
spring and viscous damper, as shown in Figure. If the spring
constant of the torsional spring is 15 N. m/rad, find the damping
constant necessary to provide critical damping in the return swing
of the door. If the door is initially opened 75 and released, how
long will it take for the door to come to within 5 of losing
