Find a single equivalent damping constant for the following cases:

a. When three dampers are parallel.

b. When three dampers are in series.

c. When three dampers are connected to a rigid bar (Fig. 1.102) and the equivalent damper is at site \(c_{1}\).

d. When three torsional dampers are located on geared shafts (Fig. 1.103) and the equivalent damper is at location \(c_{t_{1}}\).
