Is this Spring Damper System effective?

[skyuen9]

A real simple question but need confirmation:

When I have a simple Spring/ Friction Damper system where the value of the spring stiffness is say A(Nm) and the Damping is B(Nm). If the value is B > A, will the Spring system still work? Or will the spring just keep still no matter what the input torque is?

A stiffness and damping coefficient don't, and can't have the same units. Stiffness is a property which resists deflection or displacement while damping resists velocity. Check your units again.

Also...what does "work" mean?
