A machine of mass 200kg is mounted on the middle of a fixed-fixed beam, with a viscous damping mechanism not shown. The steel beam (E=207GPa) has the following dimensions: a=0.05m,b=0.2m and L=4m. It has been observed that when a harmonic force of magnitude 1000N is applied, the maximum steady-state response occurred at a frequency of 720rpm. Determine the equivalent damping constant, neglecting the mass of the beam.
