The recoil mechanisms of large firearms are designed with critical damping to take advantage of the quickest return to the firing position without oscillation. A 52 kg cannon is to return to within 50 mm of its firing position 0.1 s after maximum recoil. The initial recoil velocity of the cannon is 2.5 m/s. Determine (a) the stiffness of the recoil mechanism,(b) the damping efficient of the recoil mechanism, and (c) .the maximum recoil
