Explain how hysteretic damping could change the design approach for a new high-rise building in an earthquake-prone area.
💡 Hint: Consider materials and how they respond during stress.
If a structure experiences oscillations with a peak velocity of 10 m/s, and the damping coefficient is 200 Ns/m, calculate the damping force.
