Thanks for the response, I tried setting up a system of equations that may indeed minimize it using underdamping aswell. The problem is that while c^2-4mk <= 0 the functions is obviously decreasing but when you look at when it is greater then 0 it ends up increasing which would be the damping...

Homework Statement The mass of a car that acts on one wheel is 100 kg. The elasticity (spring) constant in the suspension system of that wheel is k = 10^4N/m. Design the strut (find the friction/resistance constant c) such that any vertical motion of the wheel (set up for example by going over...
