In designing buildings to be erected in an area prone to earthquakes, should you try to have a small or a large amount of damping?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

La Paz, Bolivia, is at an altitude of 3,650 meters above sea level. In La Paz, water will boil
 
  A)
 
  at 100C.
  B)
 
  below 100C.

  D)
 
  There is not enough information to answer this question.

Answer to Question 1

If the earthquake frequency corresponds to a natural frequency of the building, a large amount of damping is desirable because the maximum response is reduced.

Answer to Question 2

B
